Raw recruits. PCSO return
ON THE BEAT This week the new Junior PCSOs met for their first meeting and were welcomed to the Junior PCSO programme, which is a community initiative in conjunction with West Midlands Police. They considered the qualities needed to perform their role and agreed to be approachable - easy to talk to or deal with and friendly. Polite - showing good manners; being courteous, considerate and tactful; helpful- providing assistance; proud - feeling or showing justifiable self-respect; reliable - dependable and trustworthy and smart - someone who wears their Junior PCSO uniform with pride. Our Junior PCSOs have a full programme of work ahead of them. They will; use the PCSO Pledge to know what is expected of them; learn essential information about the laws of the road to support safer parking and road safety; promote the message of reduce, re-use and recycle with a poster competition; learn about the Clean Air Charter with respect to air pollution around the school; attend a virtual meeting with the UN at the Climate Summate; work with a charity called ‘Living Streets’ to promote a campaign called ‘WOW’ which encourages pupils to walk to school then deliver monthly WOW badges to classmates; meet the Sandwell Litter Watch Team to learn about the impact of litter on the local environment and local wildlife; register with the charity Hedgehog Street; train to be a ‘Safeguarding Champion’ to support with pupil wellbeing and safeguarding across the school, including training to support the schools anti-bullying campaign and have lots of fun along the way! Thanks to Mrs. Flanagan for the story!
