"Notinsel" partners wanted

The Alliance for Families and the City of Bocholt - Department of Youth, Family, School and Sport are offering a training session for shops and institutions that want to become "Notinsel" partners on Monday, 27 March 2023, at 7.00 pm. The training will take place in the meeting rooms of the City of Bocholt, Kaiser Wilhelm Str. 52 -58, corridor 4 and will last about one hour. Registration is not required.

Islands of refuge are contact points for children who need help because, for example, they have lost their bicycle keys, missed the bus or because they feel threatened. Shops and institutions whose business premises are at ground level and easily accessible can become emergency islands. To avoid misunderstandings, at least two people must always be present. Another prerequisite is that at least one representative of the future "Notinsel" partner attends a training session. In the training, the participants receive information about special features of the emergency island project and learn how to behave in an emergency.

The city of Bocholt has been an emergency island city for many years. Emergency islands can be recognised by the emergency island sticker, which is placed in a clearly visible position at the entrance.
