Hello, my name is Ms. Wroth.

Today we're going to be looking at the lesson called "Reporting an emergency." This fits into the lesson unit, "Staying safe and healthy: How can I avoid harm?" Now in this lesson, we are going to be talking about things that might make you feel worried or uncomfortable.

For example, we're going to be talking about different types of emergencies, and what to do if you find yourself in an emergency.

So for this lesson, it is recommended that you have an adult with you before you continue watching.

Today's lesson outcome is, I can describe how to report an emergency quickly and accurately.

Let's begin by taking a look at our ground rules together.

Laura says we should listen to others.

Andeep says we should respect privacy, and that means if somebody decides to share a story or their own experience, that we don't go and repeat it to others outside of this lesson.

Jacob says no judgments, and that means if somebody does decide to share their own story or experience, that we don't judge them because of it.

And Izzy says choose your level of participation, and that means you can decide if you simply just want to listen or if you want to share something throughout the lesson.

All of these ground rules are here to keep everybody safe in the lesson.

Here are today's keywords.

Emergency, emergency services, injured, endanger, and prank.

An emergency is a dangerous situation that needs immediate help.

Emergency services are the people who help us if we are in danger, such as the police, firefighters, or ambulance crew.

Injured means when someone experiences damage to their body.

Endanger means to put someone in danger.

And prank, which means a joke that tricks someone.

Let's see if we can spot any of these keywords throughout today's lesson.

Here is the lessons outlined, and we are going to begin with, when should we report an emergency? An emergency is a dangerous situation that needs immediate help.

An emergency could be a fire, someone getting seriously hurt, for example, in a car accident, someone getting stuck or lost in a dangerous place like a mountain or forest, witnessing a theft, for example, someone stealing a vehicle, or feeling unsafe around a stranger.

If we are in an emergency, we may need to call 999.

This is the number that connects us to the emergency services.

The five emergency services include the police, the fire and rescue service, the ambulance service, the Coastguard, and mountain rescue.

Time for a check for understanding.

Tell your partner the five emergency services that we just spoke about.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done for having a go.

You should have said the police, the fire and rescue service, the ambulance service, the Coastguard, and mountain rescue.

Not everything that feels urgent is an emergency.

Things like losing your phone or having a stomachache are not an emergency.

In these cases, we should speak to a trusted adult instead of calling 999.

Sometimes it can be tricky to decide whether to call the emergency services when someone has injured themselves.

Doctor Elsie says, "Minor injuries, like small cuts and grazes, can be treated with first aid.

However, when someone's life is endangered, we must call 999.

This includes badly broken bones and heavy bleeding from a cut or wound." Time for a check for understanding.

When is it appropriate to call 999? Is it A, if someone is drowning, B, if you've lost your pencil case, or C, if your kitchen has set on fire? Hmm.

When is it appropriate to call 999? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said A and C.

If someone is drowning or if your kitchen has set on fire, then you must call 999.

Time for a task now.

Read each statement and decide whether you would call the emergency services.

Tell your partner your reasons for each decision.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

The first statement says, "You can see someone struggling to swim in a pool that has a lifeguard." Your answer could include, "I would not call the emergency services as there is a lifeguard present.

However, I would immediately tell the lifeguard that the person is struggling to swim if they hadn't noticed yet." The second statement says, "You have witnessed someone fall off a climbing frame and they are bleeding a lot." Your answer could include, "I would call the emergency services as the person is seriously injured and their life could be endangered." The third statement says, "There is a house fire on your road and you can see a fire engine already parked outside the house." Your answer could include, "I would not call 999 because the fire service is already there." And the fourth statement says, "You have witnessed someone stealing your bike." And your answer could include, "I would call the emergency services as theft is a serious crime." Well done if your answers were similar to mine.

We are now going to move on to the second part of our lesson.

How do we report an emergency? There are several things we need to do when reporting an emergency.

The first thing we should always do is check for danger and move to a safe space if needed.

If someone has injured themselves, we should check for danger before approaching them.

We should look out for anything that could cause us harm, such as fire or sharp objects.

Time for a check for understanding.

True or false? If someone is injured, the first thing we should do is try to help them.

Give me a thumbs up if you think it's true or a thumbs down if you think it's false.

Hmm.

If someone is injured, the first thing we should do is try to help them.

True or false? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said false.

Now I want you to have a little think about why this statement is false.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

This statement is false because the first thing that we need to do is check for danger before approaching them to keep ourselves safe.

Once you are in a safe space, you should call 999 immediately.

We can still call the emergency services from a phone even if the screen is locked with a password.

Ask your trusted adult to show you how to do this.

Police Officer Kofi says, "It can be distressing when witnessing an emergency.

However, it's important to stay calm.

When you call 999, you will need to tell the operator on the phone which emergency service you need.

You will also need to tell them your location and what has happened." He also says, "If you are not sure about which emergency service you need, do not panic.

When you tell the operator about what has happened, they will be able to send the right emergency service to your location." Time for a check for understanding.

What should we tell the operator when reporting an emergency? Is it A, which emergency service we need, B, what we were doing yesterday, or C, our location and what has happened? Hmm.

What should we tell the operator when reporting an emergency? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said A and C.

We should tell the operator which emergency service we need and our location, and what has happened.

The operator on the phone will tell you what to do.

It's important that you stay on the phone and listen carefully to their instructions until the emergency services arrive.

Police Officer Kofi says, "Reporting a real emergency is always the right thing to do.

Never be afraid of calling 999 if someone is in serious danger, you could save a life." Time for a check for understanding.

True or false? When we are on the phone to the emergency services, we should listen carefully to the operator's instructions.

You can give me a thumbs up if you think it's true or a thumbs down if you think it's false.

Hmm.

When we are on the phone to the emergency services, we should listen carefully to the operator's instructions.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said true.

Time for a task now.

Tell your partner four things we should do when reporting an emergency.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Well done for having a go.

You could have said, "Check for danger and move to a safe space.

Stay calm and ring the emergency services immediately.

Tell the operator your location and what has happened.

And finally, listen carefully to the operator's instructions until the emergency services arrive." Well done if you've got those correct.

We're now going to move on to the third and the final part of our lesson.

Why are prank calls so harmful? A prank call is when someone rings someone else as a trick, often saying something that is not true.

The person making the prank call may find it funny, but the person receiving the call might feel very different.

Prank calls can make people feel worried, confused, and upset.

We must never prank call the emergency services.

Doctor Elsie says, "Prank calls waste time and endanger people because the emergency services may attend the prank call instead of a real emergency." Time for a check for understanding.

True or false? Prank calls to the emergency services are funny.

Hmm.

You can give me a thumbs up if you think it's true or a thumbs down if you think it's false.

Prank calls to the emergency services are funny, true or false? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said false.

Now I would like you to have a moment to think about why this statement is false.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

This statement is false because prank calls to the emergency services are never funny.

Prank calls waste time and endanger people because the emergency services may attend the prank call instead of a real emergency.

Police Officer Kofi says, "Prank calling the emergency services is illegal.

While children under 10 are not criminally responsible, their trusted adults can still get into trouble.

This might include a written warning from the police or paying a fine." Police Officer Kofi says, "All calls to the emergency services are recorded.

This means we can listen back to what has been said and track the number down, even if you have used a withheld number." If you have accidentally called 999, you won't get into trouble.

It's important to tell the operator that you've called by mistake.

If you hang up before doing this, they might think there is a real emergency, trace your location and send the emergency services to where you are.

Time for a check for understanding.

What are the consequences of prank calling the emergency services? Is it A, nothing, B, someone's life could be endangered, or C, a written warning or a fine? Hmm.

What are the consequences of prank calling the emergency services? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said B or/and C.

The consequences of prank calling the emergency services can lead to somebody's life being endangered, and a written warning or a fine.

Time for a task now.

Write two reasons why someone should not prank call the emergency services.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Your answer could include, "Prank calls waste time and have led to people being endangered because the emergency services attend the prank call instead of a real emergency.

Prank calls to the emergency services are illegal.

The person, or their parents if they're a child, could receive a written warning from the police or pay a fine." Well done if your answers were similar to mine.

This brings us to the end of our lesson.

Thank you for joining me today.

Here is a summary of everything that we've covered in today's lesson.

If we are in an emergency, we can get help from the police, fire service, ambulance service, Coastguard, and mountain rescue.

We must only call 999 if we are in a real emergency, such as someone getting seriously injured.

If someone is injured, we should check for danger before approaching them.

When reporting an emergency, we must stay calm, find a safe place to move and ring 999.

We must tell the operator our location, what has happened, and listen carefully to their instructions.

We must never ring 999 as a prank call.

Prank calls to the emergency services endanger others because they may attend a prank call instead of a real emergency.

Here's a slide of different places that you can get support.

We have the NHS websites, where the NHS provides advice about health and prevention, including how to access services.

And the British Red Cross, which is a volunteer-led organisation, which offers support for people including first aid.
