Public Health Commissioning Intentions

(Promoting strategies, positive behaviours and skills to reduce road risk behaviours; achieved by working in partnership with leads across Norfolk for road safety, public health and active travel; and by commissioning services, providing information, training and creating tool kits)

Communities

• Promote Bikeability as an inclusive offer to improve participation from children with SEND needs and children in rural schools.
• Refine the Active Travel Survey Schools grant scheme to help schools embed a culture of road safety and active travel in schools and where data indicate wider health inequalities
• Evaluate the progress and impact our road safety interventions have had in terms of changing behaviour and reducing risk taking.  

Driver development/skill

• Continue to support the road safety partnership with key road safety themes with a strengthened commitment to safe systems, data and behaviour change.
• Continue to commission approved driving instructors to deliver NDORS courses as an alternative to prosecution for some driving offences in line with national and local standards.
• Develop and expand on our commercial road safety offer and promote this provision to businesses across Norfolk.
• Create an older road user theory session using participation, feedback and best practise to help older drivers to drive well for longer and reflect on alternative forms of transport and support that best prepare them when the time is right to give up their license.
• Commission services to support young drivers and create a tool kit to support parents supporting young and new drivers.
