We went to a great event today with @WestYorksPolice at Elland Road Police HQ. Loads of info about staying and feeling safe from all the police presenters. Some of the easy read they had is already on our website, and we will be adding links to more soon.
A montage of photos from the event. These include a photo of a police officer showing a picture of what burglars look for when targeting houses, easy read info about hate crimes and about legal jargon that people might hear when dealing with the police, and people looking at simple security aids for the home.
