“The programme is an indispensable way of helping equip children with the knowledge and understanding of how to stay safe and speak out if they are worried about abuse or neglect.”
The quiz was held on Burns Night, so knowledge of Scotland was inevitably tested, along with trivia on topics such as China, music, sport, entertainment and history.

Carole said: “A well-deserved prize was awarded to the brainiest team and the raffle was a winner, too, with plenty of prizes donated by guests and local companies. Tesco in West Durrington made a generous contribution towards the food and Myra Jasper, Tesco community champion, who arranged the donation, was present on the night.”
