SAFER September 2022

Student Advocates For Everyone’s Road Safety

SAFER September is all about taking action in your school and community to influence safer road user behaviours for everyone in Aotearoa. We have all the resources you need to get started right here. Ready to get involved? Join us!

 

SAFER is an acronym and describes what we ask young student leaders across the country to be – student advocates for everyone’s road safety. We ask them to #speakup on the subject of people who are killed or seriously injured on our roads.  We encourage them to start conversations on driver behaviour and to promote positive choices for safer road use within their school community. 

 

SAFER September is an opportunity to run a fun activity that will teach your peers something about road safety. The best activity is the one that suits your school environment! There are loads of ideas on this page and in our activity hub, but here are some thoughts to get you started:

We have created three plans that each have different activity ideas for SAFER September. The awesome thing about SAFER September is that you are not restricted by format - you are welcome to participate in any way that suits you, in fact we encourage it! You can even run an event in August or October if that works best for your school. Some schools may choose to run a bunch of activities throughout the month, for others it may suit better to hold one awesome day. Check out the plans below for some ideas and don’t forget to take a look at our activities page for even more inspiration!

 
 
 

There are a bunch of SADD activities you can run over the month to create awareness and spark conversation.

 

We have loads of free SADD resources to support your SAFER September campaign. Check out the range and pop an order through to our team HERE

There are posters, stickers, conversation cards and more!

Looking for prizes or giveaways? Check out our awesome SADD merchandise range HERE

 
 

Creating a Instagram or TikTok account for your SADD group is a great way to share what you are up to and to share road safety messages with your peers throughout the month!

We will be giving out prizes to 3 groups that share messages on their socials during September, so you know what to do to be in to win!

 
 

SAFER September is an awesome reason to get out into your community and connect with other road safety partners. There are some great organisations out there who are working hard to improve road safety and would love to work with you on shared initiatives. For ideas and inspiration on how to do this, check out our community connections page or contact our team for advice

 

We hope you have a fun and meaningful September, filled with positive road safety messages. Whatever you get up to, don’t forget to let us know about it! We love to hear your stories and see photos of your activities. If you have something to share or any questions about SAFER September, please don’t hesitate to contact our team.
