Children And Safety Education (CASE) is a programme aimed at delivering personal safety and life skills education to infant school children at Key Stage 1. It has been developed and is delivered by retired police officers who have vast experience of working with children in schools.

The programme consists of 10 lessons, each with a regular weekly input of 30-40 minutes duration, and is delivered in conjunction with the class teacher. Each lesson focuses upon the safety of each child and looks closely at stranger-danger, safety in the home, safety on the playing field, personal safety, reacting to an emergency, and what to do when they find something that could cause them considerable harm (e.g. a discarded syringe), etc. A certificate is presented to each child at the end of the course.

The CASE project has received the backing of Nottinghamshire Police, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue and The Local Healthy Schools' Programme, North Nottinghamshire. Ex Assistant Chief Constable Robin Searle of Nottinghamshire Police, who previously was head of the force's youth justice strategy, said "Evidence shows that there is a need for, and I fully support, this project".

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue provide support to the project by visiting the schools involved to deliver the 'Home Safety' lesson.

The Directors of Children And Safety Education Ltd are Steve Cree and Geoff Stafford. Both retired Police Officers who have considerable experience of working with young people in schools not only with CASE but also as DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Officers. Both Steve and Geoff each served over 30 years with Nottinghamshire Police,

Currently CASE education services are available only to schools in the Nottinghamshire area.

Certificates are presented to each child at the end of the course.
