The Children's Traffic Club
This is a free national club aimed at 3 – 5 year old children. An invitation is sent to parents around the time of the child's 3rd birthday. Following enrolment, a series of workbooks will be sent seeking parental co-operation in basic Road Safety instruction. A range of other support material is available to support the club.
Special packs are available for nursery teachers, health visitors and childminders you can download an order form by using the "Download or Request by Post" box at the right hand side of the screen.
Training sessions can be arranged to suit the needs of specific groups on the most effective use of Children's Traffic Club materials.
A one-off talk to a group of children on Road Safety is of very limited long-term effect. However, where a group has been working on a programme of Road Safety a member of the Road Safety staff can visit the group and provide a practical or role-play presentation
In – Car Safety
A child safety seat loan scheme has been set up at Wishaw General Hospital, where for a small fee a seat can be hired suitable for babies from birth to around 9 months.
It is estimated that over 60% of child safety seats are incorrectly fitted. Literature is available for parents wishing to find out more about in-car safety and occasional promotions are organised where safety seats can be given a basic safety check.Support Activities
