Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service run several projects that engage and educate young people and provide an early intervention into anti-social behaviour. For example ‘LiveSafe’ is a programme aimed at educating primary school children in fire safety awareness and water safety. Not only do the LiveSafe team go into Primary schools during term time but [...]]]></description>

The Old Swan EARLY Team have now reached Week 10 of the 12 week Programme. The development each individual has made is astounding, and it is is excellent to see how they have each matured from the first day of the course.
This week the team are on individual work placements. Having spent the last ten [...]]]></description>

We have now had the Samsung Q1 Ultra Device for a couple of days and had time to get to grips with them. Several pros and cons have arisen in this time.
Pros
My first impressions are that they are great for activities such as video diaries or capturing a discussion.
The option of either using the front [...]]]></description>

As I have wrote about it an earlier blog, I have investigated setting up an email account for each Prince&#8217;s Trust student as part of the program. This is so they can use the e-mail account for applying for jobs , training or education as the accounts that some of the students are using now [...]]]></description>

With regards to MSF&#38;R Youth Engagement I consider the use of Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts and social networking to be ‘emerging technologies’.
Although these ideas have now been around for the last couple of years and have been embraced by some, it is only recently that these technologies have been recognised as potential [...]]]></description>

The Bright Spark Campaign is run by the Fire Support network in association with Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, aimed at 16-25 years olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) and have never volunteered before but are looking to get involved in the Merseyside Area.
