  • Sad news. I was in school myself not too long ago and there was definitely information and films about being careful around electricity and I even think there was a scenario presented with a long metal pole. I certainly hope this type of information is still given. We covered it in what was Personal and Social Education I think.


    About the public information films. I'm not sure if the comment was intended seriously, but I don't recognise anyone who would prevent or take exception to educational films about the dangers of electricity, irrespective of the skin colour or gender identity of the actors. This is not a minefield at all.
