Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department has considered funding and implementing mandatory speed awareness workshops in schools.

Road safety is covered within the statutory ‘Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education’ guidance, which includes information on teaching pupils how to recognise risk and keep safe around roads as part of personal safety.

Schools can also teach wider road safety awareness through their personal, social, health and economic education provision and draw on resources such as the Department for Transport’s THINK! Campaign. The department has no plans to implement mandatory separate speed awareness workshops in schools.
