The new school year is the perfect opportunity to focus on road safety and make sure your children know how to cross the road safely.

At school drop-off and pick-up times, roads can be especially busy. Not only does this make crossing more difficult it can also be really distracting and children may not remember their road safety rules, especially if they’re excited or spot a friend across the road.

Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can do to help keep them safe. Visit Child Accident Prevention Trust road safety hub for tips and free activity sheets for children: https://capt.org.uk/csw-road-safety/?fbclid=IwY2xjawT8621wZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7vsUArc4Te-PpMhYG1UqCnmppjg_5H1Bh_ZuFKGZbhuMRvTf4UMSbcwScu7Q_aem_FPPXItA0sM1mxThLk355ag

It's never too early to start sharing stories 📚

From babies to children in their early years and all the way through to teens, reading brings profound benefits that can have a lifelong impact on children's lives.

Evidence shows that reading supports children to bond with their caregivers, do better at school, develop creativity and empathy, and even overcome inequalities before they deepen.
