The initiative to provide this training to those visiting the shopping centre in Dartford came from the force’s specialist team who focusses on the wellbeing of young people in Kent.

Police Sergeant Glen Rickersey and PC Jodie Hobbs from the Kent Police Child Centred Policing Team welcomed around 100 people to the force’s engagement centre at the retail complex during the school holidays on Thursday 26 October 2023. Families who popped in with their children were all keen to learn what to do in an emergency. This included how to put someone in the recovery position, tend to injuries, carry out CPR, where to locate defibrillators and when to call 999.
