Footsteps

Use Footsteps to give your child the skills to use the road safely

Learning to cope with traffic is a practical life skill. It’s not something your child will learn at nursery or school so it’s important to help them with practice. The best way to do this is to encourage them to make their own decisions safely while they are with you.

Following Footsteps will help you support your child to become a safer, more confident, and independent pedestrian. It will give you reassurance and allow your child to enjoy the health benefits of walking, which is great for the planet too.
