The Milton Keynes Safety Centre, also known as 'Hazard Alley', was the first of the purpose-built interactive education centres for children. The Centre is the result of collaboration between Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service and Thames Valley Police, and creates a partnership between statutory organisations, local government and health authorities, and the private sector. In this respect it meets the requirements of both the 'Health of the Nation' document and the Crime and Disorder Act. Opened in 1994, the Centre has quickly established itself as a 'must do' for schools seeking innovative new ways to introduce children to elements of the National Curriculum such as peer pressure and bullying, vandalism and personal safety. We now have an average of 20,000 children, including special needs groups, visiting per year. We receive many enquiries from people and organisations interested in setting up similar centres around the country and we are happy to provide any information that is required.
The Safety Centre joined the Safety Centre Alliance in 2009 - an organisation which exists to facilitate support, networking and development between permanent interactive safety centres in the UK and to support those wishing to set up new centres.
