Pedestrian training

Our pedestrian training encourages young people to reflect on their knowledge, attitudes and choices when walking.

We offer pedestrian courses with a staged approach to learning.

Aims

To enable children and young people to:

• Build understanding and knowledge that empower positive roadside behaviours
