Join the Safe School Run pledge
Norfolk County Council’s Public Health Road Safety team are inviting schools, parents, and carers across the county to join the Safe School Run pledge, an initiative that encourages safer, healthier, and more sustainable travel during school drop-off and pick-up times.
Last year nearly sixty schools took part in the pledge. Participating schools report a 10% increase in walking, scooting, or cycling, fewer cars during peak times, and a noticeable improvement in road safety awareness among children and their families.
This year, schools will receive updated resources designed to support safe parking, reduce engine idling, and improve air quality around school gates. These free materials, developed by Norfolk County Council’s Public Health Road Safety team with resources from Norfolk Constabulary and Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service, aim to help schools engage their communities in creating safer streets and cleaner air for all.
Schools interested in joining the pledge or accessing the free resources can visit the Norfolk County Council website or contact the Road Safety team directly for support. Norfolk County Council’s website.
