Network Rail : Urgent - Trespassing on railway lines near you
Due to the very high level of trespassing on the tracks by young people in your local area, Network Rail in partnership with Learn Live are working to help raise awareness to students across the UK educating them about the dangers of the train tracks through interactive digital delivery.
We urgently need you to please share the relevant safety video with your teachers to show in class or send the link to students and parents who can watch it at home before the Easter break, as we traditionally see an increase in trespassing over this holiday period.
Remember 15 mins can help save lives and provide important safety information to young people.
We have made things easier for you to watch the free safety videos by just entering the email railsafety@learnliveuk.com into the I am registered field when you first watch the videos.

Please note these are the recommended age ranges, we would always advise you to view the clips first to gauge suitability for your class.
The session is less than 15 minutes and explains why it is important to stay safe near the tracks.
Over 8 million students, parents and teachers from across the UK have significantly decreased the number of trespasses in their area through watching the safety clip.
Primary school feedback - Chapel End AcademyMy students really enjoyed the video and we had a fantastic discussion about keeping safe. As they are Year 3, we also talked about what to do when they get older and a friend says to play on the tracks, great information at an appropriate age level, not to scare but make them really aware. Really helpful! Secondary school feedback - Goldwyn SchoolThe students that watched the safety video were all engaged in the presentation and were in shock of the injuries that occurred. All of them knew there were dangers around the tracks but were quiet surprised by how many dangers there are. |
Thank you for supporting this important safety message and for helping raise awareness to keep your young people safe.
