Road Safety - Lewisham Children & Family Centre

This week is Road Safety week, the UK’s biggest road safety event, coordinated annually by Brake, the road safety charity.

Someone is injured on a UK road every four minutes and vehicle speed plays a part in every crash. As we are all being encouraged to avoid public transport where possible and walking, cycling and scooting more around our neighbourhoods exercise it’s never been more important to be aware of road safety.

Your child is never too young to learn about road safety so every day this week we will be posting short videos from Laura, Anne & Sandra with simple road safety tips to keep you and your family safe on our Facebook page.

No Need to Speed

Know Your Stopping Distance

“My child and I have really enjoyed coming to Little Explorers. It has helped my child to get used to see other babies and have interaction with them, which has been really important for him after the pandemic.”

“It's absolutely fab to be able to have access to all of the Domestic Abuse services in one place and to just click on a link to get to the website.”

“The Children Centre is our favourite place to come, we have been coming here since my child was 6 months old, he is now 4 years old and is still enjoying! Well done staff”

“I have just found the ‘taking care of ourselves’ section, which is massively important for us all, especially compassion fatigue.”

“The help and support that my family support worker gave me was above and beyond, she was always there to listen to me and make me feel like I was good enough and I was being heard.”

“The Outreach Team have such outgoing, friendly and fun personalities and made each Outdoor Learning session a great experience.”

“The Explorers session has helped my child a lot with his communication and his development. It’s really been impactful for him; we are really grateful to have this opportunity to attend the session and meet other parents as well.”

“The sessions help my daughter with speaking English, as well as helping her to listen and follow directions. I am very happy, my baby is very happy, and I feel relief when I come.”

“The Children Centre is very beneficial for my child, she has developed lots of skills e.g., sharing toys and naming colours. Also, the staff are very friendly and helpful.”
