About the Programme (page 1 of 3)
The aim of a Junior Road Safety Officer’s (JRSO) scheme is to empower children to highlight road safety issues within their school. This can be done through raising awareness amongst other pupils, teachers and the community, while maintaining links with their Road Safety Officer (RSO). The scheme links to Citizenship, which encourages pupils to take responsibility for their own learning and decision-making.

The scheme has been around for some time in various English counties, and has operated in some parts of Scotland since 1995.
