Eight Steps To Improved Road Safety Education
New publication sets out eight steps to improved road safety education
A new approach for the development of road safety education courses and materials has been set out in a report produced by experts in eleven European countries and published by the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC), the Flemish Foundation for Traffic Knowledge (VSV) and Prince Michael International Award winner Fundación MAPFRE.
The report is envisaged as a starting point for those who design, test, implement and evaluate educational activities on traffic safety and mobility, and are embarking upon the creation of new, or updating existing, activities.
The new resource should also be useful to ministries, authorities, schools and organisations when deciding on which activities and projects to buy or fund. The guidelines reflect a list of minimum criteria that should be included or considered, in order to ensure high quality standards are maintained.
