Children to be taught what to do in a terrorist attack

[FootballFan]

Primary school children are to be taught about what to do in a terror attack with a book about a cat set loose in a school for mice.

Moggy's Coming advises youngsters to 'run, hide, tell, treat' in the event of an active gunman or knife attacker, in line with national police advice.

Hundreds of teachers in Birmingham have been trained on how to use the materials so far.

It has been developed by the team of doctors behind the Citizenaid app which advises users on how to deal with a terror threat.

In conjunction with the book, older students will have 'teacher-led discussions about a shooter in a school' and will be given advanced training on how to stop a large wound from bleeding or using a tourniquet.

Meanwhile younger children will talk in general terms about how injuries are treated but will be advised to approach an adult for help.

The cartoon story is based in the fictional Mulberry School for mice in the town of 'Goodcitizenham'.

Good preparation or needlessly worrying a child?

completely ridiculous IMO. But nothing surprises me with the education system these days.
