Organised by road safety charity Brake, Kids Walk sees UK primary school pupils taking part in short, supervised walks in their communities.
Schools signing up receive resources and lesson packs that help to teach vital road safety skills.
Official figures show that six children are killed or seriously injured on UK roads every day.
The Kids Walk is aimed at children aged 4 to 11 and last year 720 schools took part, reaching around 80,000 pupils.
Brake is campaigning for children’s right to make “safe and healthy journeys, on safe roads, free from the threat of traffic and pollution”. The campaign also aims to raise awareness among parents, carers and other adults in the community about the need to protect children on roads.
