School crossing patrol Beverley Morley with the body mounted camera
A PRIMARY school has equipped its crossing patrol with a body camera to keep children safe.
Billingshurst Primary School has introduced the camera after West Sussex Highways suggested schools should use body cameras to try to stop abusive behaviour outside school gates.
The cameras are worn across the chest to capture audio and video footage of motorists driving dangerously, or being abusive towards school crossing patrols as they help children and parents across the road.
Each body camera costs around £150.
