Road Safety Week, the UK’s biggest annual road safety campaign which takes place every year, will be between the 15th and 21st November 2021.
Every year, millions of people in the UK dedicate their time to raising awareness for safer roads. The theme of Road Safety Week 2021 is Road Safety Heroes and will focus on celebrating the work of road safety professionals and those that support people when a crash happens. The campaign will also highlight how all road users can play their part in making journeys safer for everyone.
Here are some of the ways to be a road safety hero during road safety week:
- Schools – help children learn about road safety heroes and why road safety matters; enable them to speak up for safe and healthy journeys.
- Organisations – be a road safety hero by managing road risk through good policies, procedures and effective driver training and education.
- Emergency services and road safety professionals – highlight the work you do as road safety heroes to reduce casualties and care for people affected by crashes.
- Road crash victims – share stories about how road safety heroes helped you after a crash.
Russell & Russell Solicitors are proud to be taking part in the campaign again this year and are longstanding supporters of Brake, the road safety charity that coordinates the annual Road Safety Week.
