Safe School Run Pledge

The aim of the Safe School Run Pledge is to keep children safe when they travel to and from school.

The safe school run pledge is an effective strategy to support with:

• Tackling parking challenges and promoting responsible parking.
• Encourage more active travel by encouraging parents who can, to park further away from the school gates.
• Improving the local school environment with air quality and creating less
• congested roads directly outside the school gates.

The school-led scheme offers flexibility in delivery, with advice support and guidance from the Norfolk Road Safety Partnership which includes the County Council Road Safety Team, Norfolk Constabulary and Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service.

We will supply you with a free resources pack to help you run the Pledge in your school and support you whilst you set up and deliver this intervention. Our support will help you to highlight and increase parent/carers understanding of the importance of safe and considerate parking outside your school whilst encouraging safe and active journeys.

To take part

If you are interested and would like to run your own Safe School Run Pledge initiative, please email roadsafety@norfolk.gov.uk for a resource pack.

We are offering a number of bike bells to schools for those who take part in the Safe School Run Pledge and complete our feedback form, which will be sent out in the Summer term.
