We all know the importance of keeping children safe when near roads and traffic, so Oxfordshire County Council have produced this short leaflet that will give you some simple activities to support your child to become a safer pedestrian.

By teaching children road awareness, you are enabling them to make their own choices and decisions with your help when walking and crossing the road.

• Ask questions rather than tell your child what to do
• Involve your child in the decision making and explain why you are doing things.
• Remember your child will copy your behaviour so be consistent, even if you are in a hurry.
• Never do anything you wouldn’t want your child to do when they are on their own.
