This presentation will provide a focused overview of the Fire and Rescue Service's commitment to reducing road casualties, underpinned by our comprehensive road safety position statement.. We'll articulate our vision for safer roads, detailing the position statement's core principles: a multi-agency approach, proactive advocacy for GDL, prevention through education, engineering solutions, and robust enforcement, alongside effective post-collision response.

We’ll also cover our future direction, addressing emerging road safety challenges and highlighting our adaptive strategies. This presentation seeks to reinforce the NFCC's critical role as a proactive and influential partner in driving national road safety improvements.
