S.A.M.E Programme
A 4-week learning experience promoting safer choices for young drivers and passengers
At S.A.M.E Academy, we deliver road safety education across all age groups — from primary aged pupils learning independent travel to secondary students developing pedestrian and passenger awareness. Our flagship offer, The S.A.M.E Programme, is designed specifically for post-16 learners, youth groups, colleges, sixth forms, PRUs, and community organisations seeking a deeper, structured approach to driving awareness and safe travel.
The four-week programme explores the core principles behind our name — Safety, Awareness, Motoring and Education — guiding young adults to understand risk, reflect on behaviour, and develop the mindset needed for safe and responsible road use.
What the Presentation Covers
Across four interactive sessions, participants explore key road safety themes through discussion, activities, real-world scenarios, and video content. Each week focuses on one pillar of the S.A.M.E approach:
Week 1 — Safety
Understanding how and why collisions happen, the impact of risk-taking, and the importance of responsibility as both a driver and passenger.
Week 2 — Awareness
Exploring distractions, peer pressure, decision-making, journey planning, and recognising unsafe situations before they escalate.
Week 3 — Motoring (and Mobility)
Identifying risks specific to young drivers and riders — including speeding, fatigue, mopeds and scooters — and building positive habits early.
Week 4 — Education
Using knowledge to influence peers, challenge unsafe behaviour, and develop long-term confidence as safe, responsible road users.
By the end of week four, participants have a stronger understanding of risk, real-world consequences, and the behaviours that help prevent collisions — enabling them to model and share safer choices with others.
Presentation Format
The S.A.M.E Programme is designed to be accessible, engaging, and easy to implement within post-16 settings. It is:
• Delivered over four weeks (one 60 minutes session per week)
• Interactive and learner-centred — using discussions, activities, and video
• Flexible — available in person or online
• Adaptable — tailored to the needs of your organisation and learners
• Suitable for groups of up to 40 participants
We work with colleges, sixth forms, youth offending teams, PRUs, apprenticeship providers, and community groups across the UK and internationally.
Beyond the S.A.M.E Programme
In addition to this course, we deliver:
• Post-16 Road Safety Workshops (1-hour, small group)
• Post-16 Road Safety Presentations (100–300+ attendees)
• Programmes for younger students (Transition to secondary school KS3 & KS4)
• Driver training for businesses and workplace essential drivers
This ensures organisations can build a full, age-appropriate progression of safety education.
Why These Presentations Matter
Young adults are among the most at-risk road users due to inexperience, distraction, peer pressure, fatigue, and risk-taking. This structured programme gives them the time, space, and support to:
- Understand the realities of road risk
- Build confidence as new drivers or regular passengers
- Recognise pressures that influence unsafe decisions
- Develop safer habits around cars, mopeds, scooters, and public transport
- Reflect on their behaviour and its impact on others
Through four weeks of guided learning, participants gain the awareness and decision-making skills that contribute to safer communities and safer roads.
