Over to You - Your Choice road safety programme for secondary schools, sixth forms & colleges

Road safety education shouldn't stop at primary school. As students grow older, they become more independent, choosing new ways to travel, navigating more complex roads, and using a wider range of vehicles. That's why it's essential to continue this learning into secondary school and sixth form.

By signing up, you're not just ticking a box you're helping shape confident, responsible road users who understand how to keep themselves and others safe.
