Our vision is a world where children travel safely to and from school
Let’s make every school journey safe for our kids!
Each day 500 children are killed in preventable traffic crashes around the world. Sometimes they are killed just yards from the school entrance.
Each traffic death and injury violates a child’s right to an education.
Star Rating for Schools (SR4S) is an award-winning evidence-based programme of tools, training and support to measure, manage and communicate the risk children are exposed to on a journey to school.
SR4S is informing strategic investment in infrastructure upgrades saving lives and preventing serious injuries every day. It is also empowering global and community advocacy to address the leading killer of young people world-wide – road traffic deaths.
