Derbyshire Now – 6th February 2026 Edition

Fun day for youngsters

Children and young people in our care enjoyed a day of fun and learning at Derbyshire Police Headquarters.

Hosted by Derbyshire Constabulary on behalf of our Corporate Parenting Board and organised by the participation team, the children and young people played games, learned about online safety and talked about their hopes for the future.

A highlight of the day for the 19 young people who were aged from 10 to 17 was a visit from Flash, a police dog in training who is pictured with one of our foster carers Saira.

During the day, the police’s Youth Inclusion Team played a game called Shattered which asked them to think about the importance of staying safe online, explaining that people might not be who they say they are.

Activities also encouraged all the young people to dream big and share their inspiring goals for the future.

We’re always on the look out for people to become foster carers and would encourage anyone interested to explore further.
