The motion

That the Parliament recognises the positive and impactful collaboration between Electrical Safety First and the Scouts in promoting the safe and responsible use of electrical devices among young people; acknowledges that, in an increasingly digital and technology-driven world, it is vital that children and adolescents are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to use electrical gadgets safely; notes that a series of eight thoughtfully designed activities has been developed as part of this initiative, aimed at helping young people to identify potential electrical hazards, understand risks and make informed, safer choices in their everyday lives; recognises the importance of early education in fostering lifelong safety habits, and commends both organisations for their proactive and commendable efforts in ensuring that young people are better educated, aware and prepared when it comes to electrical safety.
