Helping children stay safe on the road.
Crossing the road is an everyday event for most people and one that we probably consider we do easily and safely. However, over 25,000 people are injured as pedestrians each year in Great Britain and nearly 30% of these are children.

Learning about crossing the road safely is not just for very yound children - it seems we all need to revisit what we should do. Child pedestrian accidents normally rise with age all through primary and into secondary school. Adult pedestrians have accidents too. Let's all learn to be safe on the road.

Crossing the road is a learned skill and children need to learn and practice (with an adult) where and how to cross the road. Roadwise Education created and developed 5 alive as an easy way for children to remember where and how to cross the road. (See Bookmarks)

Children can gain proficiency awards and will need the help of a responsible adult - so why not have a family project with each child using their own 5-Alive!Skills and Activity Books.

Run a '5 alive club for children' where, together with the help of parents or other adults, children can work in a group setting and achieve their awards! Contact us for further details.
