Setting up Junior Road Safety Ambassadors

We recommend that within School Councils there are 2 designated Junior Road Safety Ambassadors who will have the opportunity to research about road safety themes and with the support of the school council will be able to deliver important road safety messages to the wider school community in a fun and innovative way.    

Junior Road Safety Ambassadors (JRSA's) will need some support from teachers/TA's but with the main emphasis being placed on the appointed JRSAs to lead and action activities within school.  A teacher or teaching assistant should be nominated by the school to act as a school guide/liaison-to offer advice and support to the JRSAs.  

To participate please complete and return the registration form, to enable us to track and offer support as required. In return we will supply the badges and certificates for your JRSA's. Send to:

Term 2 ideas for JRSA's

The Department of Transport is running a campaign through to the end of Spring Term on Speeding as this is a major contributiry factor in road traffic collisions with 137 young people injured or killed each week. Acoording to the Department of transport speed related factors account for over half of all fatal collisions in Great Britain.

it would be useful for the JRSA to focus on the theme of speed this term. We have provided some suggestions and resources to support them with this. Alternatively they could pick a theme that is a local theme of concern for their wider school community and use the banner competition outlined to enable them to have a focus on their chosen theme.

Speed was a focus for the Brake campaign in 2020 and the powerpoint below is from this campaign. We have adapted the guidance to allow the JRSA's to use the powerpoint to hold an assembly with KS2 which focuses on Speed. 

JRSA's could organise a banner/slogans competition that encourages the wider school community to think about their speed in the vicinity of school or in the surrounding area.
