The BA13 Community Area Partnership is launching the new Wiltshire ICE (In Case of Emergency) card this week, starting with pupils at Fairfield Farm College.
Designed like a plastic credit card, it states that a pupil needs help on one side and space on the reverse for the pupil to add their name, contact details and name of any condition they have.
Tara Watts, curriculum support manager at the college, said: “Fairfield Farm College are happy to be part of and recognise the importance of the Safe Places Scheme in supporting our young people to be safe in their community.”
The BA13 group distributed the paper cards to nearby towns and villages in 2015 and will do this again with the plastic cards over the next few months.
Both types of cards are on the counter of the Visitor Centre in Westbury’s High Street and are free for anyone to pick up. Contact ba13.partnership@live.co.uk for more information.
