Local authority road safety officers in London are being encouraged to apply for a free place on one of the Foundation courses being held in the coming months.
Complimentary places on the Road Safety Practitioner Foundation Course are being offered to London-based road safety officers thanks to funding provided by Transport for London (TfL).
The next London-based course runs on 10/11 June (part 1) and 29/30 July (part 2) and there are a few places still available. A further three courses funded by TfL will be held before the end of 2014.
A course is also scheduled to be held in northwest England (Blackpool) in autumn 2014.
The Road Safety Practitioner Foundation Course delivers the basic skills, knowledge, and understanding required to deliver a road safety intervention. It provides participants with an overview of the whole process from identifying a road safety issue, to developing an intervention and through to evaluation.
The course comprises four days of tailored face-to-face learning delivered in two, two-day sessions. Between these sessions participants are required to complete an assignment relating to the topic covered in the initial session. A final assignment, which forms the final assessment, has to be completed four weeks after the second session.
An evaluation of the course concluded it is highly effective and suitable for a wide range of professionals. The course has also been praised by Cornwall Council and by other delegates who have attended.
