What is a JRSO?

Junior Road Safety Officers help thier local Road Safety Officer to promote road safety issues within the school and the local community. Each primary school is encouraged to appoint two JRSO's from Year 6 and two deputy JRSO's from Year 5

Being a JRSO is a very important job, but it's also really good fun.

Throughout the year you could be involved in lots of activities.

  • maitaining a notice board and making sure the road safety information is up to date
  • Talking in an Assembly or in Class on road safety themes
  • Arranging competitions
  • Awarding certificates
  • using the JRSO website
  • Even helping to appoint next year's JRSO

Here are some initiatives that are already running that you could get involved in.
