School travel and child road safety

The safety of children on our roads is very important, particularly on regular journeys such as going to school.

It is also vital that children are able, and allowed, to get around by walking, cycling and public transport. This helps keep them keep fit and mentally active, as well as developing good travel habits for life.

These are some of the initiatives we carry out to help children be safe and confident on the roads.

• School crossing patrols
• Children's traffic club
• Road safety drama for secondary schools
• Practical roadside training for primary schools
• Safer routes to school
• Walk To School Campaign
