Backseat Children Report

Living Streets believes that the UK has a growing generation of “backseat children” who, because they are being driven to school, are failing to develop an understanding of road safety, their environment or their role in the community.

This report details the results of qualitative research conducted in
2007 with 104 pupils in four schools across the UK. The report found that children who are isolated in cars are not being allowed to learn road safety skills, aren’t able to play an active part in their community and are denied the chance to develop their independence.

Setting up a WoW Walking Zone - Teachers pack

What is a walking zone?

A Walking Zone sets a clearly defined area around the school inside which everybody has to walk in order to qualify for their WoW badge.
About the pack

This pack was developed by Ecolocal with funding from Transport for London. The aim of this pack is to involve children in developing a WoW Walking Zone around their school.

The pack is primarily aimed at KS2 and has been designed to link in with QCA schemes of work for Geography (Unit 6 - Investigating our Local Area and Unit 8 - Improving the Environment).

It also links with Literacy (Creating and Shaping Texts), Numeracy and PSHE.

The 5 lessons and resources in this pack are designed to be flexible and adaptable. It can be taught over one half term, or over a designated week. It can be used with Y3 or Y4 or could be extended for older children.
