RAILWAY GUARDIAN APP
The free Railway Guardian app is an all-in-one safety app from the British Transport Police. The app allows you to report crimes or concerns on the rail network, share your journeys with trusted contacts, and get access to news, guides, or support. British Transport Police want you to feel safe and empowered when you travel, and by downloading the Railway Guardian App, help is always at hand if you need it. Your small actions can all play a part in making everyone's journey a good one, such as:
- Downloading the app
- reporting crimes and concerns
- learning about acceptable behaviour on the network and setting an example
- being an active bystander

Modeshift STARS is the national schools awards scheme that has been established to recognise schools that have demonstrated excellence in supporting cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable travel.
The scheme encourages schools across the country to join in a major effort to increase levels of sustainable and active travel in order to improve the health and well-being of children and young people. Every school in England can participate in Modeshift STARS for free. On completion of an application for Modeshift STARS, schools will automatically have a brand new national standard School Travel Plan.
This the first step to taking part in the School Keep Clear campaign – Please contact mandi.slater@birmingham.gov.uk for more info.
20 MPH TOOLKIT FOR SCHOOLS: Schools are at the heart of our communities. With this unique position comes the ability to positively teach and influence our little ones, (and their grown ups) about the importance of slowing down and achieving safer speeds.
It’s important to remember that schools are nurturing a host of future road users. Educating them about 20mph as children, is embedding them with important, knowledge for the future. Kids are also a strong driving force in encouraging drivers to positively change their ways.
