“ My time at the warning zone was inspirational, interesting and fun. My class mates and I learnt a lot about the dangers of: Fires, electricity and peer-pressure. We learnt to imagine a risk meter in our head when we come to a dilemma and to choose whether it's a sensible idea to follow on with it, or on the other hand to turn around and walk away. We were all wowed with surprises of what consequences could effect us: Getting a criminal record at the age of 10 which can effect your entire life, ie, university and future jobs you may want. Over all, my trip to the Warning Zone was an amazing experience which will stay with me for life. ” Anais Desai, Caldecott Primary School.
