  3. Background • There are currently vast amounts of published road safety evidence, from a wide range of sources, on a large variety of topics. Whilst much of this evidence is publicly available, the time burden of searching for this information can act as a barrier to the use of the best evidence on road safety. • People new to road safety and other interested parties can find the wealth of evidence confusing and daunting, which ultimately can influence the success of road safety initiatives. RoSPA’s Mission is to Save Lives and Reduce Injuries

  4. Aims of the Project • On the 11 May 2011, the Department for Transport published the Strategic Framework for Road Safety. The Framework’s action plan set out the government’s commitment to improve access to road safety research by: • Developing a Portal for Road Safety Professionals that’s independent from Government and in accordance to the Big Society Principle • This will signpost key information and repositories on road safety that can be used by the professionals and public alike • Launch date – 2012 • Previously referred to as Better Use of Road Safety Evidence (BURSE) • Now known as Road Safety Observatory RoSPA’s Mission is to Save Lives and Reduce Injuries

  5. Aims of the Web Portal • The first point of call for all road safety professionals for information and guidance • To also be appropriate for other users - such as members of the public, students, Fire, Police, Health, officials etc • Provide summaries of the evidence on different road safety issues with references back to the original research • Compile the evidence used to write the summaries in a searchable database with detail about the methods and results • And therefore – provide robust information to support road safety practitioners in decision making and intervention planning RoSPA’s Mission is to Save Lives and Reduce Injuries

  6. Who is Involved • Programme Board Membership • DfT – Chair • RoSPA • CIHT • PACTS • RSGB • Roadsafe • ADEPT • RAC Foundation • ACPO • SW Health Observatory • AA • CFOA RoSPA’s Mission is to Save Lives and Reduce Injuries

  19. Producing Summaries of Evidence • Members of the programme board will write the different summaries • Standardised structure and sources of evidence • There will be a review of the content by an editorial board • The summaries will not be systematic nor fully comprehensive RoSPA’s mission is to save lives and reduce injuries
