Improving the delivery of road safety education

<< Go Back

In 2000, the Government set a target to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured in Great Britain as a result of road traffic accidents by 40%, and a more ambitious target of 50% for children. Both are to be achieved by 2010 with progress being measured against the average for 1994-98. We undertook research amongst road safety professionals, educators and others responsible for the delivery of road safety education. The primary aims of this project were to gain a greater understanding of the factors that influence the effectiveness of road safety ETP; to identify measures that are necessary to raise the quality, delivery and status of ETP; and thus to maximise effectiveness of the delivery of road safety ETP at a local level.
