LEAD Schools Competition
The Safer Caerphilly Community Safety Partnership recently ran a competition for Primary School pupils within the Caerphilly County Borough to create a poster to promote the Local Environmental Awareness on Dogs (LEAD) Initiative. 
 
LEAD seeks to provide advice and guidance to the public on dog-related issues, as well as improving dog safety and animal welfare. It also deals with anti-social and inconsiderate behaviour by individuals with dogs to protect and reassure the public. 
 
Inspector Huw Morrisey of Gwent Police said “LEAD was launched in Caerphilly County Borough in September 2023. The initiative encourages partners to work together, to promote and educate members of the public about being responsible dog owners.
 
This competition is just one way of promoting LEAD and the winner will have their design used to raise awareness of the initiative. I would like to thank all the children who participated and congratulate the winner, I hope that they enjoy their prizes over the school holiday”.
 
The winners were:  
1st Isabella-Rose (Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Allta)
2nd Lily (Pengam Primary School)
3rd Olivia (Ystrad Mynach Primary School)
 
Safer Caerphilly would like to thank The Meadows Farm Village, Taff Valley Activity Centre, United Welsh, Tesco Ystrad Mynach, Pobl and Linc for their kind generosity in donating prizes for the competition winners, as well as cash prizes for the schools. 

Please call Gwent Police on 101, or message us on Facebook or Twitter, to report illegal breeds, dangerous dogs or anti-social behaviour with dogs. In an emergency, always dial 999.
