SECTION ONE INTRODUCTION
This report documents the Scottish elements of the evaluation of the National Network of Child Pedestrian Training Pilot Project. The broader national network pilot project ran across authorities in Scotland and England in areas of high deprivation and high child pedestrian casualty rates and was evaluated between August 2002 and March 2007. The training delivered throughout the National Network was based on the practical child pedestrian skills training programme Kerbcraft, which was developed by the University of Strathclyde and piloted in the Drumchapel area of Glasgow in the early 1990s. This report examines the field trial of the 'Kerbcraft' programme in 12 unitary authorities in Scotland in a wide range of different settings and pays particular attention to the processes of delivery and implementation.
Section 2 describes the background to the development of the Kerbcraft programme and its piloting in Scotland and sets out the aims and objectives of the evaluation study. This section also provides an outline of the overall evaluation study across the whole of the national network and presents a synopsis of combined results from schemes across England and Scotland.
A brief background to Kerbcraft in Scotland is given in Section 3, including details of national network programme and the scale of the pilot project in Scotland.
In Section 4 we present the methods and results of the Scottish evaluation component studies: volunteer surveys; school-based case study; co-ordinator and road safety officer surveys and a head teacher survey.
Section 5 presents a commentary and conclusions, Section 6 advises on future delivery of Kerbcraft training and Section 7 provides references.
