Senior Schools (12 - 15 years)
Traffic is the single biggest cause of accidental death for 12-16 years olds. Six out of ten teens have either been in an accident/near miss or know someone at school who has been. Teens get distracted when they cross the road by talking and having fun with their friends, chatting on their mobile phone, listening to music, or just thinking about something else.
We have lesson plans and resources available on request.
