  • Summary

  • Since we launched Project EDWARD in 2016, we have watched it claim its place as a key event in the road safety calendar. New for 2021 is our fortnightly podcast in which we have the opportunity to explore and debate a range of topics outside the busy atmosphere of our September week of action.

    Underpinning our activity in 2021 is The Safe System, an approach that sets up road systems to let people use them intuitively – and to stay safe in the process. This will be a central theme for our podcast conversations.

    We will also look for the answers to a number of important questions. For example, how do we look more critically at the modern criminal justice system? Are we brave enough to challenge how things work? What’s required in an effective post-crash response? How can efforts to reduce drink and drug driving be re-energised?

    A new Project EDWARD podcast episode will be published every fortnight from 4 June until 3 December 2021.

    With James Luckhurst and Neil Barrett.

    Curtain raiser for our Week of Action – 10 September 2021
    Sep 10 2021

    In this episode, recorded at the Emergency Services Show, James Luckhurst watches the countdown clock edges towards zero and the 2021 Week of Action. He meets Anne-Marie Penney from National Highways to talk about how driving at work policies need to cascade down through every organisation’s supply chain. He hears from British Horse Society Safety lead Alan Hiscox with his reaction to the forthcoming Highway Code changes. Ian Greenman from the United Kingdom Rescue Organisation shares a few secrets ahead of the Rescue Challenge in Newcastle on Friday 17th September. James also considers mindfulness, mental health and learner drivers – an odd combination perhaps? Well, not according to Terry Cook, a driving instructor from Leeds.

  • Meet the new Chief – 27 August 2021

    Meet the new Chief – 27 August 2021
    Aug 27 2021

    In this latest episode, James Luckhurst is joined by Jo Shiner, Chief Constable of Sussex and the recently-appointed roads policing lead for the National Police Chiefs’ Council, as well as by Ruth Purdie OBE – chief executive of UKROEd, the organisation responsible for the management of the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme.

    We’ll be considering opportunities to kick start the sort of reductions in road death and serious injury that have been missing – not just in this country but across most of Europe – for more than a decade now. Where do these opportunities lie? Also, what’s being done to make roads policing more visible – and to remind drivers that compliance with the law is not optional.

    We also meet Chris Spinks from Westcotec and Geoff Collins from Jenoptik. Both are supporters of Project EDWARD and both work in the business of keeping people safe on the roads. We’ll be looking to dispel a few myths about speeding and asking both to identify effective measures for ensuring that drivers use speeds that are both legal and safe.
