Curtain raiser for our Week of Action


Listen Later

In this episode, recorded at the Emergency Services Show, James Luckhurst watches the countdown clock edges towards zero and the 2021 Week of Action. He meets Anne-Marie Penney from National Highways to talk about how driving at work policies need to cascade down through every organisation’s supply chain. He hears from British Horse Society Safety lead Alan Hiscox with his reaction to the forthcoming Highway Code changes. Ian Greenman from the United Kingdom Rescue Organisation shares a few secrets ahead of the Rescue Challenge in Newcastle on Friday 17th September. James also considers mindfulness, mental health and learner drivers – an odd combination perhaps? Well, not according to Terry Cook, a driving instructor from Leeds.

Project EDWARD (Every Day Without A Road Death) is an annual UK-wide road safety campaign backed by government, the emergency services, highways agencies, road safety organisations and British businesses.

The Campaign, Managed by ARRM and RoadSafe, promotes an evidence-led, ‘safe system’ approach – the long-term objective of which is a road traffic system free from death and serious injury.

Our aim is to provide a platform that showcases some of the best work being done around the country to promote:


  • Safe Vehicles
  • Safe Road Use
  • Safe Speed
  • Safe Roads and Roadsides
  • Post Crash Care
