Pupils across the East Riding will be encouraged to stay safer when they are out on local roads for this year’s Road Safety Week.
We will be visiting schools to hold a variety of training and awareness sessions during the national week, which runs from Sunday 17 to Saturday 23 November.
The team is due to hold events in colleges, primary, secondary and nursery schools in Bridlington, Beverley, Preston, Anlaby, Keyingham, Willerby, Brandesburton, Bishop Burton and Holme On Spalding Moor.
They will include theatre in education, bike safety courses, talks by school crossing patrol staff, immersive cycling reality experiences, scooter training, pedestrian skills and training for safe school journeys.
The team will also have an extra early start one morning in order to hand out free Be Bright Be Seen bike lights and hi-viz equipment to paperboys and papergirls at newsagent shops in Beverley.
The theme for this year’s Road Safety Week is After the crash, every road victim counts. For more information visit www.brake.org.uk/road-safety-week
We have had a video produced to promote the After The Crash theme, featuring interviews with local emergency professionals who have been directly affected by road accidents.
The video contains sensitive discussions about the lost of life in a road traffic collision. If you have been personally affected by such instances, you may find the video distressing. If you have been affected by the contents of the video, you can find support at www.brake.org.uk
