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. We run campaigns and initiatives throughout the year, aimed at teaching children from as young as two and up.

We work with educators, road safety experts and academics to produce resources, lesson plans, activities and games that are carefully designed to have an impact. Click the links below to find out more.

Get involved

We support schools and families through Road Safety Week, helping children and young people learn more about road safety, how to make safe and healthy journeys, and how to campaign for change to make roads safer for everyone.
