Road Safety Education

Glasgow has a dedicated Road Safety Unit that provides a city-wide road safety education, training and publicity service. As well as supporting the development and delivery of national education resources, the team also provide a bespoke 'hands-on' local education service providing programmed road safety lessons and training to every child in every school in the city.

Although learning is a life-long experience, it is important to recognise the benefits of instilling road safety skills at an early age as part of our skills for life programme. Our work is closely aligned with the curriculum for excellence and designed to create the next generation of safe active travellers with positive road safety attitudes and behaviours.

The Road Safety Unit also have a new 'STARS' website which gives information and advice for everyone on School Travel and Road Safety. 

Road Safety education within Curriculum for Excellence will provide children and young people with opportunities to develop their skills for learning, skills for work and skills for life. Our STARS activities have been developed to be engaging and enjoyable whilst ensuring effective learning.

Schools can contact the Road Safety Team and work their way to earning one of our Lord Provost School Travel and Road Safety (STARS) Award!

You can view the different activities that the team delivered in schools, on social media using #GCCRoadSafety.
