RSS commissioned Carole Millar Research to undertake an evaluation of this resource. The key aims of this study were to: o Identify how effectively the Streetsense resource has been distributed o Explore whether primary schools currently use the Streetsense resource o Outline how schools use the Streetsense resource o Identify ways in which Streetsense could be sustained and developed. Road Safety Officers covering all areas of Scotland were interviewed, 11 in person and 16 by telephone. Visits were made to 8 primary schools with a further 4 schools contacted by phone to discuss reasons for non-use. Four lecturers from universities involved in training teachers were interviewed by phone. Four personal interviews were undertaken with representatives of LTScotland, HMIE and LA Education Departments. A further two telephone interviews were undertaken with representatives from LA Education Departments. A self-completion survey was sent to 598 schools across Scotland ensuring a geographical spread and a range of size of schools were covered. A response rate of 40% was achieved giving 240 usable responses.
