Closed Hold a public awareness campaign on seat belt requirements for children

Closed on

Current seat belt laws for children are not sufficiently well understood, especially when it comes to children on school transport. The Government should run a public awareness campaign to make it clear that children on school transport should be wearing seat belts, where these are provided.

There have been tragic incidents involving children not wearing seat belts on school transport. The law says that children should be in the correct car seat or wear seat belts where they are provided, but many do not, and too many drivers don't appear to be taking responsibility for this.
