Road safety
Knowsley’s Road Safety Team is committed to promoting road
safety by educating children in all schools in the borough. As part
of this approach, we deliver a range of road safety
interventions.
Training
- Guidance for parents and carers of all nursery and reception
children
- Child Pedestrian assessments for 5 year-olds. This includes a
training guide for parents and carers to help improve children’s
road safety skills.
- Practical pedestrian training for Year 1 children.
- Theatre in Education sessions for children in all Primary and
Secondary Schools.
- Pre-driver training sessions for Year 10 and 11 pupils.
Cyclist training
Child cyclists are amongst the most vulnerable of all road
users. To help them to recognise and deal with hazards, we offer
National Standards on-road cyclist training to children aged 9-11
in all Knowsley Primary Schools.
To take part in this training, children need to have a bicycle
which is in good working order. They will also be expected to wear
a cyclist helmet whilst training. Children who don’t own their own
helmet will be loaned one during the course. There is no charge for
this training and all resources are provided free of charge.
Contact the Road Safety Team for more information.
