Scooter Training
Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership is committed to providing young people with the training needed to make journeys safely on their scooters. In partnership with Scootability, free to attend sessions are being offered at a variety of sites throughout Warwickshire during the Summer.
All the equipment is provided (such as scooters, helmets and pads) and the sessions are suitable for children aged 5 to 10 years. Please note that this training is for push scooters only and not suitable for e-scooters. As a reminder, it is currently against the law to ride a privately owned e-scooter in any public place in the UK including Country Parks .
Every child that signs up will get the opportunity to take their Level 1 Scootability training which lasts 90 minutes. The training starts with the basic skills of balancing, turning and braking before moving on to narrow pavements, moving obstacles and one handed signalling.
Parents/Carers are required to stay for the duration of the session.
Please be advised that in the event of poor, wet weather courses may be postponed based around the safety of trainees. If courses are postponed due to weather, all attendees will be notified at the earliest opportunity by email.
