‘People who help us’ awards for two special ladies
Two very special ladies will be receiving certificates next week in recognition of all the volunteer road safety work they have done at Galley Common Infant School.
Sarah Levers and Pauline Hubbard have been helping to run the popular KerbSafe scheme over the past few months and are now being honoured at a `People who help us’ assembly at the school.
KerbSafe is a practical road safety initiative developed by Warwickshire County Council to help make young children safer when they are out near roads. It comprises 6 roadside sessions with volunteer instructors and introduces children to the basic skills they need to become more aware of the potential risks they face.
Stan Milewski, Principal Road Safety Officer at the county council said: “We couldn’t run this important scheme without people like Sarah and Pauline. They play a vital part in educating our young children about road safety and give their time freely – we very much appreciate their hard work.”
Once a young child is aware of the dangers on the road, KerbSafe helps them to think about what they can do to keep themselves safe and encourages them to share this knowledge with their parents.
