Be Safe! Be Seen!

As the dark nights draw in it is a time to think about road safety in the dark. Today children in Years 2-6 had a special talk from the team at Urban Vision who reminded us  how to keep safe and be see when out and about in the dark. Here are some helpful tips:

 

How can my child be seen more easily?

 

1. On dull days your child can wear bright or fluorescent colours

 

• Special high-visibility tabards and other clothing can be bought from many retailers
• Fluorescent armbands can also be worn over coats and other clothing.
• Bags are also available in bright colours or with high-visibility strip

 

2. If walking near traffic at night reflective clothing is needed

 

• Reflective clothing reflects light from car and bike headlamps
• Reflective armbands and clothing can be bought for children
