School ethos and organisation
Students’ learning about and for a safe road/rail system is influenced by a positive road safety ethos and organisation in their school. The ethos and organisation for road safety is obvious when road safety is ‘what we do around here’.
- A ‘living’ school road safety education policy/procedure maintained through consultation.
- Enthusiasm for road patrol duty.
- Professional development opportunities for teachers.
- Road safety curriculum materials and resources being used within day-to-day learning.
- Parents and care-givers give consideration to safe school travel.
- Planning for EOTC activities minimises risks around roads and rail.
- Road safety messages, preferably student-developed, in school newsletters.
- School community members willingly report instances of dangerous or potentially dangerous road use.
