Travel and Transport Safety
Keeping children safe during journeys and trips.
Journey safety
Cover road safety basics, public transport awareness, and car safety. For children walking or cycling independently, agree on routes and check-in times. Ensure they know what to do if plans change.
Key takeaway
Agreed routes and check-in times give children independence while keeping safety nets in place.
Holiday and trip safety
When travelling, take recent photos of children in case of separation. Keep identification and emergency contact information accessible. Brief children on safety rules for the specific environment.
Key takeaway
Preparation is key — a few minutes of planning before a trip can prevent problems.
