Road Safety Scotland is once again funding a limited number of award-winning child car seat training places to strengthen professional knowledge and improve child passenger safety outcomes across Scotland.
Delivered by Good Egg Safety, the evidence-based programme equips frontline professionals with the confidence and competence to provide accurate, practical and life-saving guidance to families.
Good Egg Safety is nationally recognised for excellence in child safety education and has received multiple prestigious awards, including two Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards (2006 and 2024) for outstanding contribution to road safety.
The funded training is essential for professionals working directly with children and families, including:
- Road safety officers
- Police and Fire & Rescue personnel
- Social workers and family support teams
- Community safety practitioners
- Public-sector and third-sector safeguarding professionals
Training will be delivered in January, February and March at the state-of-the-art GTG Training Academy in Edinburgh, offering hands-on, practical and theoretical learning aligned with current legislation, best practice and real-world application.
Michael McDonnell MBE, director of Road Safety Scotland, said: ‘“Road Safety Scotland is delighted to once again support the delivery of Good Egg Safety’s child car seat training programme.
“The programme aligns strongly with Scotland’s Safe System approach and our Vision Zero commitment to eliminating death and serious injury on Scotland’s roads. Good Egg Safety’s training is widely recognised for its quality, rigour and practical impact, grounded in evidence-based practice and extensive professional experience.
“Ensuring that professionals who advise and support families have access to the UK’s leading child car seat expertise is a vital component of preventing avoidable harm and improving child road safety outcomes across Scotland”
