The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents’ work in the field of road safety evaluation has been officially recognised at this year’s Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards.
Kevin Clinton, the RoSPA’s Head of Road Safety, was on hand to collect the special award after impressing judges with the launch of its free roadsafetyevaluation.com website and E-valu-it toolkit which helps road safety practitioners evaluate their education, training and publicity (ETP) activities.
“We are immensely proud to win this prestigious award for our website and toolkit, which is the first of its kind for road safety ETP,” said Mr Clinton.
“This is the third time that the RoSPA has won a Prince Michael Award with our Young Drivers at Work Project being recognised last year and our website to help parents keep their children safe in cars (childcarseats.org.uk) in 2004.
“We hope that more road safety practitioners will continue to register to use E-valu-it and publish their evaluations so that others can learn from them and replicate any appropriate research methods on their own interventions.”
Other winners at the Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards were GreenRoad [more on that here], the RAC Foundation, BT, and RiskMaster.
Founded in 1987, the Prince Michael Road Safety Awards are presented every year to the exceptional examples of innovation in road safety.
