After a successful first year in the West of Scotland, Miller Homes has expanded its Home Safe campaign for a second year across central Scotland by providing free high-vis vests across 17 of its developments.

In addition to wearing high-vis vests when travelling to school, Miller Homes also encourages children and their guardians to familiarise themselves with educational resources on the Road Safety Scotland website, including activities for children around the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents’ Green Cross Code. These helpful activities include tips on how children can navigate roads safely and outlines five simple steps children should take when crossing a road:

1. Find a safe place to cross.
2. Stop just before you get to the kerb.
3. Look all around for traffic and listen.
4. If traffic is coming, let it pass.
5. When it is safe, go straight across the road – do not run; keep looking and listening while you cross.

Peter Thomson, Regional Managing Director for Miller Homes Scotland, said: “We're excited to launch our Home Safe campaign for the second year, helping children across Scotland get to and from school safely. Our campaign was a great success last year in the West of Scotland, and as a result, we've decided to roll out Home Safe across the country to include the East of Scotland. As we approach the darker months, we hope the high vis vests will make children stand out against vehicles, making their journey to and from school safer, especially near busy roads.

“We warmly welcome everyone to get involved and pick up a vest from a selection of our marketing suites across the central belt.”

Suitable for all primary school children, the high vis vests will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Vests can be collected from the marketing suite at each development Thursday to Monday, 10:30-5:30pm.
