Aide-memoire for the interviews
Peer Education in RSE: Questions for Road Safety Officers
Interviewer introduces project: we (East House Research) are currently carrying out research into the possibility of introducing a peer education scheme in road safety. This would apply to secondary school pupils and, as RSOs would be involved in introducing and supporting it, we are very keen to discover what Road Safety Officers think about this possibility.
- First of all, what do you think about the possibility of peer education in RSE for secondary school pupils?
- Do you know about any peer education taking place in secondary schools in your area, either in RSE or other subjects?
- What would any strengths of the scheme be?
- Can you think of any weaknesses?
- How might such a scheme be implemented?
- How might such a scheme be supported?
- How much RSO time might need to be devoted to it, both:
at its inception and
during its operation? - How, if at all, might this link with JRSO work already going on in primary schools?
- How much training and support might be required for participating:
RSOs?
Teaching staff?
Pupils? - What do you expect might be the response and take-up from schools and pupils in your area?
If the RSO interviewee has not suggested a school where RSE or other peer education is taking place in the questions above, she/he would also be asked to nominate one secondary school in which he/she is aware of good practice in road safety education.
