Youth and road trauma forum

The Youth and Road Trauma Forum was developed to address shocking statistics relating to young people and road crashes. The Forum's primary objective is to reduce the road fatality and injury rates of young people via education and information that empowers them to make safer choices - as drivers and as passengers. The content of the Forum includes motoring information, driver safety, vehicle safety with information on first aid, trauma care, brain injury, drug and alcohol and the role of each of the emergency services. The forum's content supports key messages in school's Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) road safety curriculum as an attitude based driver education program, and is aimed to help young people assess their attitudes and behaviour on the road. The forum is a one-day program where students witness and experience first hand the potential risks associated with driving and being a passenger.
