Potentially life-saving safety lessons are being taught to Norfolk's primary school children as part of a series of interactive workshops which are touring the county.
Nearly 69,000 year six students, aged 10 and 11, have taken part in the annual Crucial Crew safety sessions that are now in their 18th year.
The idea is to give children advice on how to stay safe at home, in the community and online, with sessions designed to be fun and interactive.
The benefits have been life-changing in some cases, with one previous participant later witnessing an electrocution and knowing what to do to keep the casualty safe until help arrived.

As well as learning about fire safety in real-life scenarios, children also take part in seven bitesize workshops on how to tackle the personal dangers and learn valuable skills in how to keep safe.
Topics being covered include first aid, road risks, seaside safety, CPR and defibrillators, healthy relationships, and online risks including talking to strangers and sexting.
Margaret Dewsbury, Norfolk County Council cabinet member for communities and partnerships, said: 'The free Crucial Crew sessions enable Norfolk children to not only keep themselves safer, but also benefit the communities they live in too.
'We've heard that lessons learnt in the past have been put into practical use by young people who are better equipped to deal with emergency situations.'
