Safe Journey Ahead - Road Safety Teacher Training Project

Norfolk County Council Road Safety Team has been successful in attaining a grant bid from the Road Safety Trust, which will enable 100 schools to receive the Safe Journey Ahead - Road Safety Teacher Training for EYFS and KS1 pupils.

For those who are part of the project, each delegate will receive three, one to one support sessions with a Road Safety expert, to offer support in embedding the life skill of Road Safety to your school and your pupils.

The aim of this project is to trial a new and innovative way to teach Road Safety at EYFS and KS1.

Course details

The session is delivered live online using Microsoft Teams and runs for approximately 90-120 minutes.

This teacher training session will cover:

• What is Road Safety? How does it fit into a school setting?
• Road Safety and the curriculum

• Planning Road Safety for your school

There are three follow up sessions, with a Road Safety expert who can offer support and guidance. These sessions will be presented at 2 months, 6 months and 12 months after the initial training.

• Be able to plan and deliver Road Safety interventions aimed at the needs of your school and pupils
