Talks and courses

The Road Safety Team offers several courses, including:

• Junior Pedestrian Training (reception years), a classroom-based talk, lasting approximately 45 minutes, focuses on the basics of crossing the road, safer places to play and cross, as well as identifying people who can help;
• School Crossing Patrol, where staff can explain to children how they must behave when crossing the road with a patrol;
• Walking Bus, an informal informative chat with one of the team's officers for those who want to start up a walking bus;
• School Travel Plan provides an informal chat with one of the team's officers for those who want to find out how your staff and students can benefit from a school travel plan.

Interactive resources

These resources are available on short-term loan only:

• Street Feet
  The Street Feet resource is designed for three to seven-year-olds in a school hall or similar setting. It consists of road layouts with zebra and pelican crossings. Through role-play, it aims to develop the skills and awareness that young children need to cope with today’s traffic. For more information, visit www.frescointeractives.co.uk/streetfeet/index.html.
• Fresco interactive kit
  This is designed to raise road safety issues and the effect that travel choices have on health and the environment.
• Toucan pedestrian crossing
  This provides children with the opportunity to practice using a pedestrian crossing in the safety of their own school. This scaled-down toucan crossing is an excellent interactive and fun way to teach children to identify safer places to cross and how to use them properly.
