Consultant for Review and Develop the Road Safety & Helmet Curriculum/Guidelinefor the Office of the Private Education Commission (OPEC) and

the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC)

Background

According to the World Health Organization, road traffic accidents are responsible for more than 1.2 million deaths globally each year, with motorcycle accidents accounting for nearly a quarter of these deaths. In 2012, 14,059 people were killed on roads in Thailand, resulting in a road death rate of 36.2 per 100,000 people. Road accidents are the 2^nd leading cause of death of Thai children. Most children travel on motorcycles daily, and while Thai law mandates helmet use for motorcyclists, only an estimated 7% of children wear helmets.

To inspire behavioral change towards new social norms, Save the Children Thailand has launched a nation-wide campaign to increase child helmet use and decrease motorcycle death and injury among Thai children called The 7% Project.

The 7% Project adopts an integrated approach that focus on 4 main components. Together, we are focusing on:

• Education: teaching children how to wear helmets, and why they must wear them
• Advocacy and Police Engagement: working with teachers, parents, and police to ensure children wear helmets on every trip
• Media and Outreach: launching an advocacy campaign to make helmets a required part of the school uniform, coupled with nationwide messaging, events, and social mobilization
• Adaptation: designing helmets that youth want to wear, and providing opportunities for children to customize their own helmets

Overview

To inspire behavioural change towards new social norms, Save the Children has been working closely with teacher and student helmet ambassadors to inspire agents of change on road safety practices in schools and communities. Save the Children selects and trains Teacher Helmet Ambassadors (THAs), who play a crucial role in leading helmet safety initiatives and promoting behaviour change among peers.

Save the Children’s Behavioural Influence (BI) toolkit is using to provide training for THAs. The toolkit features a guidebook, flipchart and teaching and learning media. The goal of the toolkit is to equip teachers with tools and knowledge, combining the traditional way of giving children information about why, when and how to use a helmet when traveling to and from school with fun and engaging learning activities. The toolkit is essentially a guide for road safety practitioners who will implement the helmet safety program and work with the helmet safety ambassadors.
