Integrated Primary School, Dunmurry join Carol Wilkinson,
manager of the DOE Road Safety Education Officer Service
and Nicky Kelly from Cycling Proficiency Scheme sponsor
Centra, right, to remind other children to take extra care
on their bikes as daylight hours shorten.
The ‘Be Seen, Be Safe’ message is being promoted by DOE
and Centra as part of their Cycling Proficiency Scheme
campaign and aims to improve childrens’ road safety during
the winter, after the clocks went back an hour on Sunday
25 October.
The partners are reminding children to wear high visibility clothing, reflective
belts, as well as lights and reflectors on their bikes to be seen clearly on
dark nights.
