The Road Safety Team in Gateshead delivers road safety education and training in schools and colleges and through community events. We also provide advice and information for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and passengers.
All sessions and advice are free of charge at point of delivery and provide essential introduction into safe road use for child / young road users and valuable safety information for adults.
As the children progress through school road safety education is tailored to suit the needs of their year group through presentations / class room talks / class based activities. We aim to encourage the child / young road user to develop their own strategy for coping with the road environment and begin to understand the importance of making safe choices.
