Star Rating For Schools |

Our vision is a world where children travel safely to and from school

WE ALL WANT THE BEST 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 evidence-based tool for measuring, managing and communicating the risk children are exposed to on a journey to school. It supports quick interventions that save lives and prevent serious injuries from day one.

The United Nations has included road safety in its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.6. SR4S is key to meeting these global targets for child and adolescent pedestrians.

SR4S was awarded a prestigious Prince Michael International Road Safety Award in December 2018, recognising the application’s huge potential to reduce risk and save the lives of pedestrians worldwide.
