Child Safety Media
Child Safety Media (CSM)
CSM is a UK based organisation that coordinates interactive safety and life skills events - widely known as Crucial Crew, for primary school children, typically year 5 and 6 pupils, preparing them for secondary school and greater independence
CSM runs across all 10 GM Boroughs
Experiential Learning: Children learn through hands-on, interactive workshops rather than traditional classroom talks.
Partner Agencies: Events are run in collaboration with local councils, police forces (such as Greater Manchester Police and Merseyside Police), fire and rescue services, Magistrates, and health organisations.
Core Topics: Workshops cover personal safety, internet and cyber safety, crime consequences, anti-social behaviour, drug and alcohol awareness, road and rail safety, and fire/home safety
B-Safe Salford
B-Safe Salford, was a new programme launched in 2025 for Year-6 classes, to teach children how to keep safe and make good choices.
B Safe Salford is a Year 6 Youth Crime Prevention initiative hosted at the GMFRS Bury Training Centre.
Salford City Council, along with their partners, have devised a full day of sessions, running from around 9.30/9.45 until 2.30/2.45.
Jodie, from the School Organisation team at Salford City Council, said: “The B safe programme is to engage children and give them knowledge and equip them for year seven moving on to high school.”
“We just want them to think about things a little bit differently. To have that knowledge to be able to go and be comfortable in school and have that knowledge outside of school as well in their communities.”
The sessions include talks from the Greater Manchester Police, Greater Manchester Fire Service, the British Transport Police and the GMMA Magistrates in the Community.
Salford City Council are also providing talks on youth services, E-safety, safer schools and road safety.
Foundation 92, which focuses on physical and mental health and wellbeing, also provides a session.
The Safer Schools team have managed to secure Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) funding for 2026/2027. Transport is arranged to get the pupils and staff to the facility.
The programme runs from September through to June.
