The programs cover all ages and play a vital role in reducing road trauma by enhancing the awareness, knowledge and skills of all road users through lifelong learning.
All sessions are aimed at students, teachers and/or parents and can be tailored to meet the needs of specific groups, including small or large audiences, and can also be adapted to cater for persons living with disability. All sessions are FREE and can be conducted on site in our specially designed Road Safety Centre education spaces or at your preferred off-site location.
The Road Safety Centre Foundation Document explains and supports the seven principles that the programs are based on.
