Stop, look and listen” is a good start, but it isn’t always enough once pupils start travelling on their own.

HEADS UP! is a road safety pack for Years 5 to 7, built around the move to independent travel. Rather than repeating the rules, it looks at how familiar routes put us on autopilot and why that makes hazards easy to miss.
