VolkerHighways has launched a Road Safety Slogan Competition for school children, giving the kids an opportunity 'to promote life-saving messages across communities' in which the company works'.
Children are asked to write a short, memorable and fun slogan that promotes safe behaviour when walking, cycling, or scooting near roads. The winning slogan will be displayed on VolkerHighways vans, helping spread the message to a wide audience.
As part of the prize, the winning school will receive £500 worth of school improvements, as well as a dedicated road safety assembly, featuring one of their road safety mascots; Kerby, Amber or Sally.
The winning student will receive £50 book token vouchers and pupils will be given a road safety badge featuring the winning slogan.
Cheryl Latreille, social value manager for VolkerHighways, said: 'We're excited to bring this competition to schools across all the areas we operate in. Road safety is at the heart of our community engagement activities, and we can't wait to see the fantastic ideas young people come up with as they help spread important road safety messages and contribute to safer communities.'
