Gainsborough visited by the Home Office and ITV to pilot new child financial exploitation lesson
Gainsborough Primary School was the first in the UK to pilot new RSHE Association curriculum materials focused on child financial exploitation, which was captured for Good Morning Britain and the Metro newspaper.
We had an exciting visit from Lord Hanson, Minister of State for the Home Office, alongside representatives from the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit, the City of London Police, and the local MP for Newham. Having a team of experts in the room as our pupils engaged with these vital resources made for an amazing learning experience. The event was made extra special by Good Morning Britain and the Metro newspaper, who came to capture the lesson in action and speak with staff and pupils about the importance of protecting children from financial scams.
The children were super excited and have already watched back the segment on Good Morning Britain this morning on ITV.
