Safety skills help children and young people learn how to recognise risks and make safer choices in everyday situations. These skills can help them stay safe at home, at school, and when out in the community.
Some disabled or neurodiverse children may need extra support and practice to use these skills. Learning safety skills is an important step towards building confidence and becoming more independent.
Road safety can be especially important when children are walking, cycling, travelling in a car, or using public transport. There are many resources available to help families teach and practise these skills in a way that works for their child.
Take a look at the useful links below for information, tips, and support to help your disabled or neurodiverse child stay safe when out and about.
