Agilysis is relaunching a national survey, which sets out to better understand the state of Safe System implementation throughout Britain.
Now into its third year, the survey is supported by many leading road safety organisations including Road Safety GB, PACTS, the Road Safety Foundation, Institute of Highway Engineers, IAM RoadSmart, Roadsafe and the RAC Foundation.
The survey will take another snapshot of the current state of capacity for Safe System implementation across the country, so that gaps can be identified, and comparisons made to last year.
This year, Agilysis is introducing a fresh perspective by focusing on culture maturity to assess how well-equipped the country is to build capacity and drive progress in road safety.
Agilysis says with recent changes in government, now is the perfect time for practitioners and Safe System stakeholders to reflect on the priorities and collaborative efforts needed to achieve the best possible safety outcomes for local, regional, and national road networks.
Tanya Fosdick, research director at Agilysis, said: “The response to the previous surveys has been incredible. However, when we compare the two previous years of survey results, we saw little improvement in capacity nationally, and that there are strategic and structural challenges we face.
“This year we’re asking participants to think carefully about organisational culture, leadership and behaviour in the hope that we can begin to diagnose some of the barriers to progress.”
“By participating, you’ll help ensure that local needs and priorities are reflected in building a national picture, aiding in the development of clear recommendations and supporting actions to help you in your work.”
The survey is open to anyone in the road safety community, including anyone from a UK road safety local authority, police force, fire and rescue service, road safety partnership, charity, or private organisation.
Participants won’t be asked for sensitive information, and responses will be anonymised when findings are presented.
The survey will remain open throughout the summer, closing on Friday 13 September 2024, with the findings published in a special webinar taking place on Thursday 24 October.
