Road safety charities are encouraging childminders and others working with children to register for Road Safety Week this year and promote their ‘drive less, live more’ theme.
Road Safety Week takes place between 23-29 November and
Brake is encouraging families to consider how they use roads. Could you switch to walking, cycling or using public transport?
Childminders are ideally placed to engage with children and explore the benefits of sustainable and active travel. This is also an opportunity for children to think and chat about how they can travel differently, and allows you to reinforce the principles of road safety.
Within your childminding setting, you can link daily activities to the theme, for example going out to the shops, playing in the park, arts and crafts - learning about colours, can all be linked to road safety.
Registering with Road Safety Week and taking part in raising awareness will benefit you, your family and your minded children. You will also receive support and free email action pack resources available from Brake.
