Sadly in 2025 there have been 31 incidents where a collision on a moped or e-scooter has caused injury or death to a child in the Wakefield District.
Wakefield Safeguarding Children Partnership (WSCP) has launched this campaign to help parents and carers understand the serious risks of allowing children and teenagers to ride mopeds and e-scooters. Our goal is to educate parents and carers about the risks and legal responsibilities surrounding mopeds and e-scooters, helping to prevent accidents and keep children in the Wakefield District safe.
As practitioners and professionals working directly with children and families, you play a vital role in sharing this important message. Please help us by:
Sharing our campaign messaging with the parents, carers, and families you engage with every day.
Promoting the campaign and resources across your networks and on your social media channels.
Displaying posters in your settings to raise awareness.
Together, we can raise awareness, reduce risks, and help keep children safe!
