Families have an important part to play in keeping children safe around roads.

• Never drop off or meet your child on the opposite side of the road to the bus stop or call them across the road. Always drop them off or meet them on the same side of the road as the bus stop.
• Remind your children to always wait until the bus has gone before choosing a safe place to cross the road

Talk to your children about Stop! Look! Listen! Think! every time they cross the road:

•  Stop one step back from the kerb
•  Look continuously both ways
•  Listen for the sounds of approaching traffic
•  Think whether it is safe to cross and keep checking until safely across.
