At Turves Green Boys’ School, the safety and well-being of our pupils takes precedence above all else. During the week commencing Monday, March 4th, 2024, we observed County Lines Awareness Week. Pupils across all year groups participated in activities dedicated to raising awareness about this issue. These activities included an extended assembly conducted by Mr. Rogers, Assistant Headteacher and Designated Safeguarding Lead. The assembly aimed to ensure that pupils grasp the concept of County Lines, understand who is vulnerable, recognise the signs of exploitation, and know what steps to take if they or someone they know might be at risk.
It was wonderful to see all pupils engage with this topic maturely, sparking insightful discussions between pupils and staff.
