ROAD SAFETY MANAGEMENT

Effective casualty reduction requires a very broad level of stakeholder engagement. No one organisation working in isolation can solve or should be expected to deliver sustained casualty reductions. Road safety is a partnership approach that requires coordination and management of a strategic plan. The plan is under pinned by the creation of sympathetic multi-agency performance targets that are developed from a data led approach. The performance is evaluated and reviewed to maintain focus and adjusted to changing patterns that may arise.
