 Road Safety Week is the UK's biggest road safety event, coordinated annually by Brake and involving thousands of schools, organisations and communities each year.
This year it will be held the week of 18th to 24th November.
Brake is a road safety charity that works to prevent road death and injury, make streets and communities safer, and supports the victims of road crashes. They founded Road Safety Week in 1997 as an annual event to raise awareness about road safety and promote steps that everyone can take to stop these needless deaths and injuries year-round.
Road Safety Week aims to inspire communities to take action on road safety and promote life-saving messages during the Week and beyond. It also provides a focal point for professionals working in road safety to boost awareness and engagement in their work.
All sorts of people get involved - nurseries, schools, youth clubs, army bases, community campaigners, employers, sports clubs, fire officers, local authorities, paramedics, driving instructors .... you name it!
The Road Safety Week website offers tips and ideas and more, including advice and case studies. There is also guidance and resources to help you get involved in an email action pack sent to everyone who registers to take part.
During Road Safety Week, Brake also promotes road safety through the media, and are often featured on national and regional TV, radio and press. The charity chooses a theme to focus their media campaign on, and you can read about this year's theme here
You can focus your activities during the Week on the main theme or any other road safety issue that's important in your area.
