This means that it has been designed and purposely built for Primary 7 children in Edinburgh and the Lothians to visit. Inside the building there are realistic settings used as the background to highlight specific safety messages. The sets include a house, road, bus, railway line and a building site to name but a few.

The children are shown around the centre in small groups by volunteers. Without the kindness and dedication of the volunteers, The Risk Factory would not be where it is today.

The centre opened its doors to the first Primary 7 children in January 2007. Since then there has been overwhelming interest from schools to book their visits to The Risk Factory.
