Parents and carers play a crucial role in the development of a child’s road safety knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour.
In this stage of their development as a road user, young people find themselves at greater risk as they start to travel more independently.
Issues surrounding peer pressure and risk-taking start to appear which is why it’s important you talk to your child about road safety.
No matter how your child plans to travel to school there are a few things to discuss before they start travelling independently.
The Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership has developed a guide for parents and carers to help you prepare your child.
