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