1. Pupil involvement and pester power: the project must be designed as a pupil centred project. Involve them in as many stages of the process as possible from citing problems to designing solutions and even taking part or monitoring the implementation of improvements / schemes. Never underestimate pester power, policy makers, funders and private companies will often move mountains to satisfy children.
2. Curriculum incorporation: try to incorporate SRTS into schemes of work it should not be a bolt on. Try not to restrict work to geography there are so many other areas where it can be fitted in including science, numeracy and literacy 3. Imagination: stretch your imagination or even better exploit the students' imaginations. If you hit a wall there will always be a creative way round it. |
4. Parents: the importance of parental involvement and support cannot be underestimated. This could range from making simple decisions about transport modes to a walking bus leader through to being a key motivator for the safe routes programme. 5. Other organisations: involve a diverse range of organisations eg. cycle and walking campaign groups, local environmental charities, the local police and local authorities. Look towards the higher organisations, for example the GLA and Transport for London who are responsible for London transport strategy, which includes funding for road safety.
6. Travel improvements: make sure you practice what you preach. The best way for us to make our childrens' routes to school safer is to reduce the use of our motor vehicles, less traffic means safer roads, more pedestrians mean less street crime.
