Primary 1 to 3 pupils in Tayside are being invited to take part in Walkwise, a child pedestrian training programme run by the Tayside police road safety officer. After an introductory talk, trained and checked parent volunteers take children out in groups of three to show them how to cross the road safely, pointing out hazards to avoid. This is backed up with classroom activities which often tie in with another project, such as transport or personal safety. Councils say the programme complements their Safer Route to Schools initiatives. Any schools interested in taking part should contact co-ordinator Marian Scott on 01382 596431.
