Here are just some of the activities JRSOs can get involved in:

• Talk at assemblies and classes on road safety topics

• Prepare and maintain a JRSO noticeboard providing information on a variety of road safety related activities that are important to the school

• Run competitions in the school and decide on prizes for the winners

• Use www.jrso.com and www.streetsense2.com to source information and showcase their school’s activities

• Write letters, e.g. to local companies asking for support or to parents providing information on a particular road safety issue

• Employ next year’s JRSOs by displaying the advert, handing out application forms and sitting on the interview panel

• Get involved in organising safe and active travel activities, e.g. in-car safety, cycle training, walking & cycling to school
