‘Beep Beep’ Road Safety Day, 13th October 2010

The Road Safety Authority has developed a pack which can be used in childcare services through the county called ‘Simon and Friends’.  The aim of the resource is to promote road safety to children aged five and under, in a preschool setting.  The series centres on four characters who promote age appropriate road safety messages to children

The programme is being organised by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) in conjunction with South Dublin County Childcare Committee. We’re hoping to hold a Road Safety Awareness day with all pre schools in South Dublin County called a ‘Beep Beep’ day on the ‘13th October 2010’ this will co inside with national road safety week.

In order to ensure appropriate use of the materials, South Dublin Childcare have organised a brief training session for all the Childcare services taking part in the ‘Beep Beep’ day.

Time:                           10:15am to 11:15am
