Encourage your child to be safe on the roads

This is the age at which children usually start to travel on their own. They are also likely to be moving to a new school and travelling further a-field.

Children between 12 and 15 are most at risk of being killed or seriously injured in road accidents – make sure they take road safety seriously and keep talking to them about the dangers.

Make the school journey as safe as possible by discussing together any dangers along the route. Consider whether your child could take an alternative route (even one that's slightly longer) to avoid hazards such as roads with fast traffic and explain to them the importance of sticking to this route.
