I deliver a workshop to children aged 11 to 13 during their Life Skills Week initiative. After introducing a small but relevant highway code quiz, we spend time looking at how they can't effectively do two things at once (use technology and cross the road safely) and produce a Road Safety Policy for their school.
2 interventions this week. One for 14/15 year olds covering dangers of motorcycle riding for new riders; 2nd for 15/16 year olds with specific focus on drink/drug driving
Meeting with members of best Driver Trainer Association in UK - ADINJC www.adinjc.org.uk Promoting ERSC
In partnership with a local motorcycle training school we deliver an awareness training course to new and young riders. Following a comprehensive review of the casualty patterns and rider profiles, we have developed a programme to encourage riders to attend a 2 hour session prior to their compulsory basic training to deliver information on rider position, basic maintenance, but more importantly about anticipation, and awareness of road dangers. To date 210 young people have taken part. The course is based on constructivism educational approach and uses the C-BOM behaviour change model.
