Brake's Educator Bulletin

Beep Beep! Day Get your 2-7 year olds involved with our national Beep Beep! Days in 2019 on Wednesday(s) 20 March, 17 July and 20 November. It's a great way of getting them to understand and be engaged with road safety basics, and it's easy to raise valuable funds to support Brake's work. Everyone who registers will receive a free resource pack, or you can purchase a bumper pack for just £10.50+VAT (per 50 children.)

Kids Walk 2019 On Wednesday 12 June, thousands of children aged 4-11 from across the country will put their best feet forward to promote road safety and the health and planet-saving benefits of walking.This project aims to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and help Brake call on grown-ups to make their streets safer. Sign up now for your free action pack including stickers, certificates, posters, lesson plans, sponsorship forms and other activities.   Coming in 2019: Zebras At Brake we believe that every child has the right to be able to get about in their community, in ways that are safe, sustainable, healthy and fair. Our brand new Zebras website will host a wealth of resources to empower families, schools and community leaders, and the children that they care for, to speak up for road safety and sustainable mobility, with children’s safety and health at the heart of their messaging. Youth for Brake We will also begin a pilot project with secondary schools, including an online hub containing tools and resources to enable young people to become advocates for road safety in their local communities. News: CPR first aid training to be added to the curriculum From 2020, secondary school children will be taught basic first aid skills, including CPR and how to use a defibrillator, as part of their curriculum. It comes from proposals from the Department of Education's plans to improve health, sex and relationship education. [1] Test your first aid knowledge in our Bike Smart first aid quiz.
