Brake provides free education resources for Beep Beep! Day

08 April 2024

Beep Beep! Day, the annual road safety event organised by Brake, the road safety charity, takes place on Wednesday 24 April 2024.

Schools, nurseries, playgroups and other early educational professionals working with children aged two to seven are encouraged to take part with their class by signing up for a free action pack provided by Brake. The pack includes activities, certificates and posters featuring characters from the children’s TV programme Timmy Time.

Important topics covered as part of the event are:

• Holding hands with a grown-up when walking near roads.
• Crossing roads at safe places with a grown-up.
• Using a child seat when travelling by car.

Brake noted that danger posed by traffic is a significant factor in whether or not families are able to walk and cycle safely within their community and therefore impacts their ability to be healthy and socially active.

The charity said that, even though very young children shouldn’t walk or cycle independently, they are still at risk of being hurt or killed when walking or cycling.

Every day, six children are killed or seriously injured on UK roads.
