RoSPA has recently conducted research to understand what impact joint strategic needs assessments have had on the delivery of local road safety programmes.

This research involved a survey of local authority practitioners and a group interview with road safety practitioners.

During her presentation, Becky will explore whether road safety was integrated into local authority JSNAs and to what extent, how involved road safety practitioners feel in the development of their organisation’s JSNA - and what impact this has had on the delivery of local road safety programmes. Becky will also highlight examples of joint working between road safety and public health teams as a result of the joint strategic needs assessment.
