This increased knowledge and understanding of road safety issues, sustainable transport and active travel choices can in the long-term positively impact on the quality of life for all contributes to the reduction of child casualties in the UK.

The Children’s Traffic Club was first launched in the UK in 1993; it is a structured intervention scheme, engaging children under 5, their parents/carers and a range of associated professionals, in valuable road safety messages and information in fun and interactive ways – backed by research into developmental psychology, which shows that personality traits and lifelong habits can be set by the age of five.

Over 3 million children to date have successfully been through the programme. As a road safety education intervention, CTC continues to be the most researched, evaluated and monitored programme for this age group.
