Joint CSEC / AdRisk Joint International Seminar

Young people from the UK were among the speakers on the second day of the seminar, as delegates turned their attention to youth participation in strategies to prevent unintended injuries.

Katie Benbow

Singer-songwriter Katie Benbow, 16, of Rhyl, Denbighshire, spoke about the song she wrote in memory of her friend David Wares, 22, who was killed in a car crash last year while racing a friend. “I would like as many people to watch the video as possible” said Katie. “If it saves one person’s life, that will be enough for me. I do not want anybody else to go through what David’s family and I have gone through.” She also told delegates that her interest in road safety had now gone beyond the video. “I would love to use the video to reach people but if they were not interested in the video, I would still like to push road safety and awareness. It has become a passion of mine now".


Alysha Ong
Alysha Ong, 19, a University of Birmingham student from Banbury, spoke about a project which saw her join RoSPA on a “young advocate” placement organised through the charity Changemakers. During her placement, Alysha investigated what young people thought about advanced driver training (see www.rospa.com/drivertraining/info/changemakers.pdf). “We wanted to know why people were or were not interested in advanced driving and whether they even knew what it involved,” she said.


Heartlands Academy
Five Year 10 students from Heartlands Academy in Birmingham outlined a CSEC peer-to-peer project through which they are developing a practical safety education programme.
