FREE Road Safety Virtual Assembly – Let's Talk … Cycling!

Warwickshire Road Safety Education Team and Warwickshire Police are helping to spread cycle safety messages to primary aged pupils as part of the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) ‘2-Wheels' campaign.

Cycling is a great way for pupils to travel actively to school and we know many of you will already be encouraging cycling at your school. We are delighted to be able to offer all Warwickshire primary schools a brand-new digital assembly called 'Let's Talk...Cycling'. This special assembly, created in collaboration with Nuneaton Safer Neighbourhood Team from Warwickshire Police, focuses on key age-appropriate messages and explains why cycling is good for us, how to cycle safely and most importantly, why we should wear a helmet.

Warwickshire Road Safety Education Team are also working in partnership with local policing teams to help make your bikes secure and are offering schools the opportunity to receive free bike markings for children who have bikes. Bikes will be marked (with a sticker) and registered on a national database. There are limited number of markings and so those schools taking part in the Safe and Active Travel Award Programme will be offered the markings first. However, if your school would like to sign up for the Safe and Active Travel Award then please do get in touch for more information.

If you would like to access this digital assembly for your school or are interested in the Safe and Active Travel Programme and bike markings, please contact: roadsafetyeducation@warwickshire.gov.uk
