Policy Context

The policy landscape

Active travel and road safety education are converging. Children from the most deprived areas face cycling casualty rates three times higher — making this a public health equity issue for your authority.

What You Get

What councils get from BCSA

A structured, scalable programme designed for authority-wide deployment.

Consistent delivery across schools

Same content, assessment, and certification standard in every school — regardless of which teacher delivers it.

Aggregated reporting for impact measurement

Participation, completion, pass rates, and certification counts aggregated across your authority.

Monitoring and evaluation readiness

Outputs aligned to ATE logic model structure: inputs, outputs, outcomes, and impacts.

Evidence-based behaviour change

Learners are assessed and certified, not passive recipients. Knowledge gain is measured, not assumed.

Scalable delivery with low admin burden

Multi-org platform where adding a school takes hours, not weeks. Central oversight with tenant-level isolation.

Measurable social value

Deliver against the National TOMs 'Healthier, Safer and More Resilient Communities' theme. Evidence reduced road casualty risk, improved health outcomes, and reduced inequality in access to safety education — supporting social value scoring under the Procurement Act 2023.

Deployment

Flexible deployment models

Choose the approach that fits your authority's structure and goals.

Council-Wide Framework

Deploy the programme across all schools and youth organisations in your authority. A single contract covers all tenants with centralised reporting and governance. Ideal for authorities with an active travel or road safety mandate.

This model is well-suited for authorities drawing on ATE Consolidated Fund allocations, where evidencing programme reach and impact across the authority is a reporting requirement.

  • Single contract, single invoice
  • Unlimited tenants (schools, youth clubs, etc.)
  • Central dashboard for authority-wide oversight
  • Volume-based pricing

Funding

Aligned to UK funding streams

BCSA reporting is designed to generate the evidence required by major active travel and road safety funding bodies.

ATE Consolidated Fund

BCSA completion data maps directly to ATE logic model outputs. Council-wide deployment reports can evidence reach, engagement, and knowledge gain across your authority.

Road Safety Trust

BCSA programme data provides the pre/post evidence structure that Road Safety Trust grants typically require for road safety education interventions.

Modeshift STARS

Schools using BCSA can log completion data as evidence of road safety education within their Modeshift STARS travel plan accreditation.

DfT Statistics

Our reporting uses DfT casualty categories and age bands, making it straightforward to contextualise programme impact against national road safety statistics.

Governance

Controls you can evidence

Built with public sector governance and procurement in mind.

Tenant Separation

Each school or partner organisation operates in its own isolated tenant with separate data, learners, and reports. This supports ATE M&E requirements for reporting at individual school and authority level.

Full Audit Trail

Every action is logged: enrolments, completions, certificate issuance, and admin changes are time-stamped and traceable. Audit logs support KCSIE 2025 requirements for evidencing safeguarding in third-party platforms.

Exportable Reporting

Download completion reports as CSV or PDF, filter by cohort, date range, school, or pass/fail status.

Central Dashboard

A single overview of all tenants, with drill-down into individual school or cohort performance.

Evidence

Measurement that matters

Generate the data you need for ATE reporting, funding applications, Ofsted evidence, and programme evaluation.

KS2–4

Age-appropriate courses mapped to Years 5–11
