In addition to wearing high-vis vests when travelling to school, Miller Homes also encourages children and their guardians to familiarise themselves with educational resources on the Road Safety Scotland website, including activities for children around the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents’ Green Cross Code.

Peter Thomson, regional managing director for Miller Homes Scotland, said: “We’re excited to launch our Home Safe campaign for the second year, helping children across Scotland get to and from school safely. Our campaign was a great success last year in the West of Scotland, and as a result, we’ve decided to roll out Home Safe across the country to include the East of Scotland. As we approach the darker months, we hope the high vis vests will make children stand out against vehicles, making their journey to and from school safer, especially near busy roads.

“We warmly welcome everyone to get involved and pick up a vest from a selection of our marketing suites across the central belt.”

Suitable for all primary school children, the high vis vests will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Vests can be collected from the marketing suite at the following locations from Thursday to Monday, 10:30-5:30pm.
