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.

Road safety week

Road Safety week is held annually and generally commences on the third sunday of November with the World Day of Remembrance (WDR) for road traffic victims.

The week long event organised by Brake is probably the biggest road safety campaign of the year. Brake- national road safety charity often organise resources that schools can use to share important road safety messages.

This year the campaign is 17th to 23rd November.

Schools can sign up with Brake to find out more at:
