This presentation will focus on speed/awareness.

UKROEd conducts the management and administration of the NDORS on behalf of the Police Service. The emphasis is on the education and training of drivers who commit low end offences across the UK.
The functions of UKROEd are to provide course design specification, quality assure trainers and providers, and enable the public to choose where to attend a course anywhere in the UK.

UKROEd designs and licences trainers and course providers to deliver 13 different types of courses. The national speed awareness course (NSAC) is our flagship course. During 2024 this course underwent a full evaluation and subsequently a new course was developed and delivered. This was fully implemented across the UK by December 2024.

Between 2024-2025 over 2.050,000 million attended an NDORS course, with 86% attending a speed awareness course. We gather feedback from course participants and over 93% state they would be a more considerate driver as a result of their attendance on the course and over 95% say they will be more considerate and aware of other road users.

To extend the impact of this behavioural change experience we have introduced a non-mandatory element of the course – Driver Top Up (DTU) This allows attendees to go back over elements of the course that will help them become safer and more informed drivers. This presentation will tell the story of the development of the new speed awareness course, the impact upon driver behavioural change and their feedback to the extra dimensions being offered through the DTU scheme.
