Campaigns competitions and school councils
The road safety team will send out a termly newsletter via the School portal that can be shared with staff. Every year there are numerous campaigns that have a road safety theme or element. In addition to this we encourage schools to tackle local issues by using their school council to advocate for road safety and act as Junior road safety Ambassadors, and organise termly events and competitions with a road safety theme, these can be done in conjunction with national campaigns.
