Our objective:
How we plan to do this: work as part of the Safer Essex Roads Partnership (SERP)
to prevent harm on our roads through education, engagement and identifying
and dealing with emerging risks.
What good looks like:
• A service which is active and valued by partners within the Safer Essex Roads Partnership and plays a central part in reducing road deaths across Essex to zero.
• A service where information and insight about high-risk groups, new risk factors and effective interventions are shared and acted upon.
• A service that uses targeted, effective interventions to prevent deaths and serious injuries on our roads by changing the behaviour of road users, especially those most at risk.
• A service that works with Highways and other partners to encourage safety conscious planning and proactive safe engineering design. That can positively shape new developments and projects and guides Essex to becoming safer by design.
• Where the impact of new technology is understood and used effectively to promote road safety, but also where new risks, such as the charging of electric vehicles, are effectively
mitigated.
• A service which works with local communities, including those in rural Essex to understand and mitigate risks where possible.
• A service trusted by communities and welcomed by those most at risk.
• A service that provides an efficient and effective post-crash response, with partners, to ensure that road collisions are effectively responded to, investigated and embraces continuous improvement through training and development
