19 Raring2go! Every parent will tell you that keeping their child safe around roads is a constant worry. Whether you are travelling on foot, by car, by bike, or with a buggy or pushchair, it's vital to keep children as safe as possible near roads. Six children are killed or seriously injured on roads every day in the UK. Road traffic injuries are the biggest cause of death among young people worldwide. The good news is there are lots of things that can be done to improve road safety at a local level and Road Safety Week is an ideal opportunity to bring people together to work towards safer travel for all. Road Safety Week is organised by Brake, the road safety charity, and is sponsored by Arval, DHL and VisionTrack. It supports the Department for Transport's THINK! campaign. The theme of Road Safety Week 2022 is SAFE ROADS FOR ALL, bringing together communities and professionals to shout out for everyone's right to make safe and healthy journeys on safe roads. We will raise awareness of key areas of road safety supported by the Government, including safe roads, safe vehicles and speeds, the new hierarchy of road users, and the importance of inclusivity to keep us all safe on the roads, no matter who we are, or how we travel.Road Safety Week is Brake's biggest annual road safety campaign. Every year, thousands of schools, organisations and communities get involved to share important road safety messages, remember people affected by road death and injury, and raise funds to help Brake care for more road victims and campaign for safe roads for everyone.
