Simon Frazer, Principal at Guilsborough Academy said;  “The tragic death of Harrison in 2017, when he was in Year 7 at Guilsborough, brought home to our community the importance of teaching our children about safety on the Railways. Schools play a vital role in keeping our children safe. We will never forget Harrison and including rail safety in our curriculum will help to save lives in the future.”

 Over 19 million students, parents and teachers from across the UK have already watched these videos which has led to a significant decrease in the number of trespass incidents in their area.

Remember 15 minutes can help save lives and provide important safety information to young people.

On 31st March we launched the Rail Safe Friendly initiative. An initiative that was introduced in partnership with Network Rail, BTP and RSSB to raise safety awareness in all schools and decrease trespassing on the railways.

Switched On is a new rail safety programme for 3-16 year olds that encourages young people to stay Switched On around the railway. On the website you will find a wide range of age targeted films, interactive games and classroom activities, Switched On teaches pupils to be aware of risky behaviour and develop hazard-spotting skills
