CARDIFF ROAD SAFETY UNIT SAFER CYCLE TRAINING

PARENTAL CONSENT FORM

Dear Parent / Guardian

Cycling is an enjoyable activity and provides many benefits for children, including improving their health and fitness, however youngsters can be particularly vulnerable on their bikes and require training before taking to busy roads.

A Safer Cycling course has been organised for your child’s year group by Cardiff Road Safety Unit,   commencing Tuesday 10^th November to Friday 13^th November 2020.

Please be aware that this training will involve use of roads close to the school as well as the playground.  We feel it is important to give the children experience of on-road cycling, under the close supervision of our instructors, to help build their confidence when riding in light traffic. If you wish your child to participate and agree with the following responsibilities, please sign the consent form below and return it to the class teacher.

Your Responsibilities

• • I will ensure that my child’s cycle is suitable for my child’s height and in a roadworthy condition, with tyres fully inflated and both front and rear brakes working efficiently.

• • I will provide my child with an approved cycle helmet* that fits my child's head that will be worn during all training sessions.

• • I understand that my child must be able to ride and have reasonable control of a cycle in order to participate in this course.

• • I understand that I am responsible for getting my child and his / her cycle to and from the school, and accept that Cardiff Road Safety and school staff are responsible for his / her safety during training times only.

• • I will inform the school of any medical condition that might affect my child’s cycle training or cause an emergency situation.

*The Road Safety Unit operates a low cost cycle helmet scheme. For further details please contact us on telephone number 20788528.
