With many people having enjoyed more walking and cycling during lockdown, and families being asked to consider whether they can walk or cycle as pupils begin returning to school, now is a great time to bring road safety to life for children. Introducing the newly updated Tales of the Road education resource.
The resource contains new and updated tips and is now interactive to help young road users navigate the workbook quickly and easily! It can be accessed and completed online, or can be downloaded, allowing progress to be saved and continued another day – perfect for children to come back to whether they are learning remotely during the summer holidays or in the classroom when school resumes in September.

History of Tales of the Road
This new interactive resource marks an exciting new step in the history of Tales of the Road, which first launched almost ten years ago. During that time, we’ve provided teachers and road safety educators with resources ranging from short videos that gave children tips on how to cross the road safely, to interactive games that children can use to build their road safety skills.
As more of our audience move to digital channels, our relaunched Tales of the Road gives schools and parents an easy way to access the resource online and to engage children through interactive learning.
