The Student Road Safety Awards have been developed to encourage students aged 11-18 years to create projects to raise awareness of road safety in a suitable way for their age group.
Paul Kerr developed the Awards after his 17-year-old son was killed in a traffic accident involving a 17-year-old driver who had passed his test only a fortnight earlier.
Entries are invited from students working in groups of between two and 10 and the competition is based on the 38 BBC Local Radio stations across England. The students are tasked with creating a road safety project which is suitable for their area and age, and research and planning are required. Students an encouraged to ‘think outside the box’ and come up with creative projects.
The winners of the area heats will go forward to a final in which they will present their project to a panel of road safety experts from the DfT, road safety units and other professional bodies.
The winning projects will then be submitted to the DfT as potential road safety campaigns.
The Awards were launched by Stephen Hammond, Road Safety Minister, on 25 September 2012 and are supported by the DfT, RoSPA and sponsored by Peugeot.
