Question 1

Are you DBS checked?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am DBS checked. Safety and safeguarding is very important to me. Each event is pre-risk assessed to ensure the environment is safe and the presentation is adapted to the surroundings and for the needs of any SEND participants. Every exhibit is also pre-risk assessed and a short health and safety briefing is given before each part of the event, so students and staff know how to handle the exhibits and take part in any activity safely.

Question 2

Are your prices and options flexible?

Accepted Answer

The Mobile Police Museum offers flexible scheduling options, accommodating your school's academic calendar and meeting times for social groups. Whether you prefer a single presentation, a morning, afternoon, or day-long visit, or multiple visits throughout the year, I can work with you to create a plan that best suits your needs with visiting fees from just £69. I am happy to meet with teaching staff to plan the content of the event to ensure that your school, staff, and students get everything they can out of this experience.

Question 3

How do your visits align with the school curriculum?

Accepted Answer

The Mobile Police Museum presentation and exhibits cover periods from the late 18th and 19th century, the Victorian era, the world wars, and through to the 21st century. Presentations can be tailored to align with specific needs and curriculum of each school, ensuring an enriching and age-appropriate experience for students.

I travel with working historic police radios, blue lights and vintage information phones, through which the pupils can learn about police technology and communication. These radios are for pupils to have fun with and learn how the police communicate using the phonetic alphabet and why.

Equipment for fingerprinting can be provided, again to be used to educate while having fun as well as other activities if time permits.

If your students are covering history or social aspects of the UK or local history, the one piece of history that has been there throughout, from the late 18th century onwards has been law and order, crime and punishment, the office of Constable and the justice system. With the Victorian Era, WW1 and WW2 on the history curriculum and of course British Values as a subject for all a visit from the mobile Police Museum can be a valuable asset. We can talk about all the above and policing just in certain periods including modern times, with visits planned to your requirements working closely with teachers.

Question 4

What can you teach me about Policing?

Accepted Answer

By showcasing the evolution of UK law enforcement over time, The Mobile Police Museum offers a unique perspective on policing. Pupils / students can examine how social norms, advancements in technology, and changing legislation have influenced law enforcement practices.  It addresses a range of important social topics, such as community policing, diversity and inclusion, crime prevention, and the role of law enforcement in society, subjects that are crucial for students to understand as responsible citizens and contribute to their social and emotional development.

Question 5

Can I really handle the exhibits?

Accepted Answer

The Mobile Police Museum features a variety of captivating exhibits, including historical equipment and uniforms. These exhibits provide a hands-on experience for students, helping them connect with the material and gain a deeper appreciation for history. Unlike a static museum, everything on display at this mobile museum can be handled, worn and fully experienced. Some exhibits are interactive such as blue lights and vintage phones with various recordings played on them.
