The Instructor

Ian Edwards spent 15+ years as an ADI before moving into the academic road safety sector. He's one of the people behind the Hermes project, which gave us Client Centred Learning.

We tackle Client Centred Learning, along with the GDE Matrix, the Safe System and the ADIs role within it.

Project EDWARD's James Luckhurst joins me to discuss a variety of topics.

James shares some examples of people he recently encountered while policing, including a young driver who had recently passed her test. This prompted me to ask how much responsibility ADIs should take for their student's post-test.

The Project EDWARD podcast: My Role in the Safe System, is a fascinating listen, full of short interviews.

Every season I release an episode (or two!) from the Premium vault into the public feed. Today is this day.

Back in December I created a '12 days of Christmas series' and one of the guests was Dr Liz Box who joined me to discuss DriveFit and Vision Zero. Following on from that I've included an edition of 'Episode Dissection' where Stewart Lochrie joins me as we talk road safety and coaching.

Enjoy.
