Police Scotland's Crucial Crew
More than 1,200 Primary 7 pupils from schools across the Borders are learning how to be life-savers.
The Crucial Crew programme is delivered by Police Scotland and supported by a range of partners including the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, British Transport Police, Scottish Power and the Inspire Team at Scottish Borders Council.


Running over three weeks, the interactive sessions help young people learn life‑saving skills, understand how to stay safe, and gain confidence in dealing with real‑life situations.
An SBC spokesperson said: “A huge thank you to all the organisations involved for helping keep our young people safe and informed.”
