This has been made possible by recruiting local aauthorities head of Road safety Richard Clark last year from Stockport. Richard has many year of experience as is a leader in his field of road casualty reduction and promotion of sustainable transport.
following lots of ground work pre Christmas the products are now live and being delivered with some fantastic feedback already and some real impacts already taking place.
The product has now gone live with training sessions being delivered and planned across the West Midlands and in the North West, following a session yesterday at the willows Primary Richard Clark who is lead on the scheme gave the following quote -
"Over the past few days instructors from CTL have been working
with the school to provide pedestrian training to all children in Reception and
Year 1. This was very well received by the children and sets a good foundation
for walking safely to school with parents and for independent travel when the
children are older.
When delivering the training it is obvious to
instructors that children who regularly walk to school have greater road safety
awareness than those who do not. This training aims to actively encourage
more children and parents to walk to school. The school is a very active
partner in this project and with further help from CTL hopes
to reinstate a walking bus. "If you like to find out more or to book your schools sessions then call CTL on 01785 818193 or e mail peter@cyclist-training.co.uk.
