Bus Safety
A video and interactive learning resource developed by Bridgend County Borough Council that teaches children the importance of good behaviour while travelling on school buses is used at Bridgend County Borough schools and has been widely distributed to schools throughout Wales, England and even further afeild.
Called Your Life in Their Hands, the initiative also features computer and card games aimed at pupils who are leaving primary education and are about to start at secondary school.
The video, which is bilingual and was made by local teachers and pupils from Porthcawl Comprehensive School and Ysgol Gyfun Llanhari, focuses on the consequences of distracting the driver. It aims to encourage pupils to ask questions and think about the effects that misbehaving on school transport can have.
Meanwhile, the computer and card games require players to spot distractions on a typical school bus journey, both on the bus and outside in the busy street, reinforcing the message that if drivers have to watch what is taking place on board the bus, they can't always keep their eyes on the road.
