National Road Safety Week
Whether we walk, ride or drive, we all have a responsibility to use roads safely to protect everyone in our school community.
If you’re the parent or carer of children, here are some ways you can help keep them safe:
• Hold hands with them when walking near roads
• Always cross roads at safe places e.g. pedestrian crossings
• Ride with children on safe paths away from traffic
• Make sure children wear a cycle helmet to protect their head if they fall off
• Make sure a child is sitting in a well-fitted, appropriately sized child seat if travelling by car.

All parents and carers can help children and young people use roads safely and choose active ways to travel or public transport where possible.
