Road Safety Evaluation website launched
Website will help road safety practitioners evaluate their education, training and publicity activities
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) and the Department for Transport (DfT) have launched a free road safety evaluation website.
The Road Safety Evaluation website will help road safety practitioners evaluate their education, training and publicity activities and also includes background information and guidance about evaluation.
It was developed after it was found that while evaluation of road safety engineering was already an established discipline, road safety practitioners faced difficulties in evaluating their education, training and publicity (ETP) activities.
At the heart of the website is E-valu-it, an interactive tool that helps practitioners define exactly what they are doing and why, allows them to design and carry out their evaluation, and promotes the publication and sharing of results.
The system produces bespoke recommendations for the type of evaluation that could be conducted based on the answers given to a series of questions and can be used for interventions that are planned, in progress or have already taken place.
It transfers all the generated results into an evaluation report template and users can then add to the template throughout their evaluation, producing a professional report at the end of the process.
E-valu-it encourages users to publish their final reports on the website, as well as on the Road Safety Knowledge Centre website and their own organisations’ websites.
Road Safety Evaluation is being supported by 12 regional champions who can explain to potential users the benefits of using E-valu-it.
Road Safety Minister Mike Penning said: "This new website will allow local authorities to assess the value of education, training and publicity activities, which will in turn help them to design high quality schemes and target them where they will have the most impact."
