| The Phoenix, 14th July 2005, City School Newsletter BODY PIERCING AWARENESS WORKSHOP A big thank you to Christina for her input into Y7 and Y8 PSHE lessons in the last few weeks. Christina's son Daniel, an ex City School student died of septicaemia 8 weeks after having his lip pierced. Christina has been raising awareness about the risks of body piercing and is trying to tighten up the regulations and qualifications for those responsible for body piercing. Her workshop is very honest and informative and we were pleased the way the students listened and asked sensible questions. We look forward to Christina coming to speak to the KS4 students next year. |

| Dan Aid are currently promoting their campaign by taking a workshop into local secondary schools, working with all year groups from yr7s to yr11s. The workshop is very informative and interesting and has been a huge success in helping the students to understand the potential health risks and dangers associated with body piercing. Dan Aid campaigners have been warmly welcolmed and supported by both the teachers and the students Dan Aid are hopeful that educating the students in the classroom will help to improve their knowledge, understanding and perception of body piercing. "We are giving young people the facts so that they may make a more informed choice" says Christina Something that Daniel never had We hope the workshop will raise the profile of Dan Aid which is addressing a very important issue affecting many young people today |
| "Hi Christina My name is Jodie-Leigh and you came into our class at City School i feel very sad for you loosing a family member especially a son. I haven't lost anyone as close as that to me and since you spoke to us i feel like I've known Daniel forever. The first time i saw George was when he went to the Sheffield Sharks (Basketball). All my Love For You , Your Family And Dan-Aid." Jodie - The City School |

Ken Dunn Assistant Headteacher The City School 28th March 2006 "CALLING ALL TEACHERS" "I have been involved with thousands of hours of PSHE lessons in my career - but Christina Anderson's session must rank among the best. The engagement she gets from the students is fantastic and the range of emotions encountered is astonishing. Christina is a very special person who gives a balanced view of the issues around Dan's death and I encourage you to invite her into your school." |
| "thank you for visiting our school. i found that the information you gave us was very useful and interesting" Georgina - The City School |

| Jill Harrison PSHE Teacher The City School 21st May 2006 Christina has spoken to all students at The City School, Sheffield,about the risks involved in body piercing. These talks have taken place during PSHE lessons, when students have listened to the story of what happened to Daniel. They have been given the opportunity to ask questionsand many interesting discussions have taken place. Very few students and staff were aware that there are no regulations to control body piercing. The school has been happy to support Dan Aid by signing the petition, by selling raffle tickets and by naming our school trophy, for the best school band, after Daniel. We wish the campaign all the best in the future. The City School A Specialist Business & Enterprise College www.thecityschool.plus.com |

| We put a workshop together over three years ago and are currently taking it into our local secondary schools. This has already proven to be a huge success with a tremendous amount of support for the workshop from Head teachers, PSHE teachers, School Health Advisors, School Nurses and the students themselves. There is still very little information being provided for young people and we are working hard to change that. Educating them at an early age does seem to be helping them to understand that although this is seen as something cool and trendy and part of the teenage lifestyle at the moment it is not without risk and some people will be more at risk than others especially if they are already predisposed to any health conditions. We do need all the Local Health Authorities across the country to act quickly and use the power given to them in the 2003 Local Government Act to regulate and license body piercing premises. We are petitioning at the moment for Mr Brown and his Government to also encourage and urge them to do so. |
