Road safety

Wednesday, July 2, 2003

All out-of-school clubs that are registered with the Scottish Out-of-school Care Network are to receive a new pack to teach children road safety. It includes resources such as board games and suggests physical activities to help get the road safety message across. Clubs and playschemes can also obtain the pack from the Scottish Road Safety Campaign, either from the website on www.srsc.org.uk or on 0131 472 9200. The pack was launched by minister for transport Nicol Stephen to coincide with Child Safety Week, which started on June 23. He said, 'Education is a key part of improving road safety. This new pack proves that children can have fun while learning its fundamental messages.'
