SAfER Schools Awards Programme
Warwickshire County Council has created the Sustainable and Active focusing on the Environment and Road safety (SAfER) Awards Programme to promote and support road safety and active travel activities in schools across the county.
The Scheme is a free awards programme open to all Warwickshire primary schools and consisting of four levels that schools are encouraged to work through, completing activities along the way. Progression through the levels of this Award Scheme are achieved though the implementation and promotion of active travel within their school community.
Through the creation of SAfER Schools, the aims are to:
- Promote safe and active travel to and from school and beyond
- Reduce the number of vehicles idling and parking outside schools
- Use SAfER school activities to link with the curriculum and other programmes already running in your school
- Work together with the wider community to make a difference on our raids and for our environment.
The benefits of your school becoming a SAfER School member are:
It is totally free to sign up to
- We can offer Free support and resources from road safety professionals
- We can provide expert help with School Travel plans
- We can offer effective ideas to raise road safety awareness in your school
- There will be opportunity to explore sustainable and environment projects; and
- There will be rewards for your achievements
During the Covid-19 lockdown period we know that the reduction in vehicles on our roads led to a dramatic increase in air quality and an equally dramatic reduction in the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads. We would like to continue to build upon these positives and there has never been a better time than right now to sign-up to become a SAfER School!
Warwickshire County Council recognise that previous Road Safety Award Schemes have been prohibitively time-consuming to complete and so the SAfER Schools Awards Programme has been designed with busy schools in mind by our dedicated Road Safety Education Officers.
