South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership
Campaigns
Every victim counts
Road Safety Week aims to inspire thousands of schools, organisations and communities to take action on road safety and promote life-saving messages during the week and beyond. It also provides a focal point for professionals working in road safety to boost awareness and engagement in their work.
Every year, more than 1,700 people die on UK roads.
Another 30,000 receive serious, life-changing injuries.
The numbers are shocking, and there has been no significant reduction for more than a decade.
But road casualties are not just statistics. Behind every number is a family in turmoil. A grief-stricken family trying to navigate its way through the complex procedures that often follow a road crash. Behind every number is a family whose lives have been changed forever in an instant. A family that needs help.
This Road Safety Week, Brake is counting the real cost of road crashes. The charity is revealing the stories behind the numbers and calling for the very highest standard of care for every road victim.
Because after the crash, every road victim counts.
Road Safety Week 2024 will take place from 17 to 23 November 2024

This Road Safety Week…
Brake is leading on the development of a Road Victims’ Charter, calling on our new government to provide sustainable funding and parity of care for road victims and their families, whoever they are, wherever they live, and whether or not a crime has occurred.
We are bringing communities together to remember loved ones who have died or suffered life-changing injury in road crashes.
We are helping children and young people learn about the people who help us after a crash.
We are helping organisations that employ people who drive for work to learn why we need robust investigation into the causes of road crashes, so we can understand why they happen and prevent future road death and harm.
We are helping people whose lives have been torn apart by road crashes to talk about their experience.
We are showcasing the work of Brake's National Road Victim Service, which provides expert emotional and practical support to thousands of road victim families during their darkest and most difficult times.
