Under the Fire Services Change Programme led by my Department since 2005, a comprehensive fire safety programme for primary schools was introduced in 2006. The programme, which will be delivered annually represents a consolidation of existing activity in schools into a single national programme, supported from the centre and delivered locally. The development of a national secondary school programme is being kept under review in my Department.
