Nossa visão é um mundo onde as crianças viajem com segurança para e da escola
Let’s make every school journey safe for our kids!
A cada dia, 500 crianças morrem em acidentes de trânsito evitáveis em todo o mundo. Às vezes, eles são mortos a poucos metros da entrada da escola.
Cada morte e ferimento no trânsito violam o direito da criança à educação.
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.
