Remember, road safety can be a sensitive issue, before delivering any of this content, please check whether any children have been affected by a serious road incident as a witness or a victim (either themselves or someone close to them). Classroom delivery is beneficial but will be augmented by practical experiences. Our resources encourage roadside experiences and training, both role play and in real life. |
