Today we hosted an event in partnership with Norfolk Constabulary, Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) and the East of England Ambulance Service (EEAST).
Wymondham College is very mindful of the high risk to our students as young drivers or as passengers. The Impact event was attended by 220 year 12 students and provided a very clear message of the potential consequences of being involved in a road collision or of not wearing a seatbelt. This excellent practical demonstration by the emergency services compliments our rolling programme of road safety presentations to our sixth form students. The College is grateful to Norfolk's Road Casualty Reduction Partnership for their efforts in helping to keep our students safe.
Guy McCurley, College Health and Safety Officer said “As an ex fire officer I am very aware of the tragic consequences of a road collision. Our students will have taken away from the demonstration, the graphic message of how the mistake of not wearing a seat belt or of driving too fast, can have a devastating impact on their lives and of others who may be involved. For some years Wymondham College has provided, with the help and support of Think!Norfolk, a range of educational and practical initiatives to reduce that risk. “
Principal Taylor said "Road safety is such a vital area and we are very grateful to Norfolk's Road Casualty Reduction Partnership for their efforts in helping to keep our students safe."
