There is an opportunity to engage in focus groups. These focus groups will be conducted across the following cohorts: Early Learning and Care (ELC) / School-Age Childcare (SAC) providers and Childminders.

This years National Beep Beep day will take place on Friday, 9 October, during Irish Road Safety Week.
In early September, the online ordering facility will be open through www.rsa.ie .

Note, this online ordering facility will strictly not open until early September and no requests for campaign material will be accepted before that time.
Preschools can order high visibility vests this year as well as Simon and Friends booklets and posters all of which are invaluable when practising basic road safety skills with the children.

Chasing the Curlew’s call was created by UCC as part of the TRANSLATE Project and follows Lou and her grandfather as they search for the disappearing Curlew near their home in County Kerry.
The story interconnects generations of Lou’s family with generations of the curlew: a bird that has been woven into Ireland’s cultural memory for many years. The story explores how shifts in weather patterns are impacting the bird’s survival, urging readers to care about climate change and feel inspired to help.
