Schools and families

We believe that road safety education is vital for our futures

At Brake, we provide tools and resources to enable schools and families to teach vital road safety skills to children of all ages.

Creating road awareness from a young age is an important way to improve the safety of our roads for everyone.

It’s never a nice fact to hear, but road crashes are the leading cause of death for children and young people worldwide, and more than six children are killed or seriously injured on roads every day in the UK. The numbers are shocking, and there has been no significant reduction for more than a decade.

We work with educators, road safety experts and academics to produce resources, lesson plans, activities and games that are carefully designed to teach road safety in a fun and engaging way. Click the links below to find out more.

If you work in education and would like free guidance and resources to help you teach road safety to the children and young people you work with, click here to find out more.

You can also click here to join our educators mailing list to receive regular educators bulletins.

Take part in Road Safety Week

Every year, thousands of schools, nurseries, colleges, community groups and organisations work together during the UK's biggest road safety event, raising awareness about road safety and helping save lives.

Road Safety Week is a great opportunity to:

  • run road safety lessons and assemblies
  • launch a campaign for safe local streets
  • share important messages with parents and carers and the wider community.
