Our standards

Richmond upon Thames was one of the first two London authorities to achieve the Government target of reducing road casualties by the year 2000. A key element of this was the high quality 'education, training and publicity’ developed by the Safety Education Team.

It is our aim to continue to provide the highest quality across all of our services to help fulfil the objectives as outlined in the current Transport Strategy for Richmond Upon Thames "to secure further safety gains to meet the new targets set for 2010". All members of the team undergo Continual Professional Development and all services are monitored and evaluated.
