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:

JRSA's Term 1
Suggested theme for autumn term. Be bright be seen.
We recommend that in the autumn term you focus on running a Be bright be seen
campaign as daylight saving ends on the last Sunday in October and the nights will
be drawing in. You could choose ONE of the three activities below to do with your
school.
National road safety week commences on Sunday November 17th and this might be the ideal time to have a school campaign and focus on road safety.
Activity 1: Organise a year group or whole school assembly with the theme "be bright be seen."
We have provided a PowerPoint on the website that you could use and amend to
suit your school.

families.
