Back to School! Stay Safe Around School Buses

Back to School! Stay Safe Around School Buses

Teach your child how to be safer around school buses:

  • STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before they cross any road. Check out Highway Code Rule 7 a-e ‘The Green Cross Code’.
  • STAY on the footpath or the verge until the bus has moved far away.
  • ACT sensibly on and around school buses.
  • BEWARE of the dangers of traffic hidden from their view by the school bus.
  • NEVER cross the road IN FRONT of the school bus.

You, as a parent or guardian, are responsible for your child’s safety. Young children should be accompanied by a responsible adult. Children develop at different rates and only YOU can decide when your child is ready to behave safely around the roads.

To help keep your children safe, check out our handy guide for  Primary School children, and our guide for  older children.
