Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) provides a suite of tailored fire safety educational programs for children.
Through the Fire Ed programs, FRV encourages a partnership between local firefighters and primary schools in all FRV districts.
Target Group
The Fire Ed for Special Ed program is for students living with disabilities who attend their local specialist or primary school. It incorporates elements of the Fire Ed for Foundation program and can be modified to improve access to students living with disabilities.
What does Fire Ed for Special Ed involve?
Teachers can choose to use the same structure and content as Fire Ed for Foundation. Please examine this information to help you decide if this is suitable for your students and what components would be best implemented into your teaching and learning programs
If modifications are required to suit the learning needs of your students, other options are available. The Fire Ed team in FRV Community Resilience can assist with content selection, modified implementation and accessible resources. Please contact fireed@frv.vic.gov.au for more information and assistance.
Firefighters, teachers, families and caregivers all have a role in the FRV Fire Ed for Special Ed program.
