Hundreds of Torbay school children have been learning about road safety in new interactive lessons

Almost 1,000 children aged between 9 and 11 years-old in Torbay have taken part in new road safety lessons which saw them discuss what hazards they might come across when using the roads and how they can keep themselves safe.
The half-day interactive lesson was delivered using conversation, drawing and drama, ending with a performance using road safety scenario cards.
Barton Hill Academy in Torquay was the final school to benefit from the lesson and were joined by Vision Zero South West. As part of their learning the children got to work with officers from Devon & Cornwall Police and Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, before exploring some of the emergency vehicles.
Each child from Barton Hill Academy that took part in the lesson were provided with a reflective and flashing band to wear on their journeys to and from school over the darker winter months.
