Scooter Safety Training
The main causes of child scooter accidents are used to form the basis of our training.
- How to check their scooter is safe
- What to do if they get tired
- How to slow down, stop and deal with an emergency situation
- Pavement etiquette with pedestrians.
- Common pavement dangers and hazards
- Cars reversing from driveways
- Road crossing with a scooter
All this information has been carefully crafted into a fun programme of Playground based games and activities followed by a Road safety based, offsite scooter adventure.
Training is lively and fun with the majority of the training taking place on the pavements where the children will be scooting to school.
All our training fits perfectly with initiatives required for schools to complete their Travel For Life School Travel Plans.
KS1 Scooter Safety Training
I was very impressed by the scooter safety training provided! It was useful and educational in the essential skills covered but also a fun experience which all pupils thoroughly enjoyed. Additionally it was a reasonable amount of time to be beneficial but not too long. Thank you again!
Scooting, faster and more fun than walking, safer and cheaper than riding a bike. It's no wonder that scooters are now one of the most common types of transport for children aged 4 to 10 years. However, with an increase in usage comes an increase in accidents.
For2Feet were one of the first organisations in the UK to create a unique training program aimed at reducing the number of scooter accidents.
Training is designed for children in Primary School years 1 to 2.
