This innovative initiative improves the mobility of students in transfers and incorporates a contact telephone number for cases of loss.
More than 2,000 schoolchildren from the infant and primary cycles of all public and private schools will have safety vests that will allow them to make school trips and activities outside the educational area with more security and visibility.
This innovative initiative has already been presented to all participating centers, by sending an informative letter, and is receiving a very good reception. The start of the campaign has started at the Sanchez Garner School.
The vests include a contact phone, with the phrase 'if I get lost', with data to alert you to any incident. It also bears the hallmark of the Paternal City Council and extra information to facilitate the control and location of minors, in case of an emergency.
The initiative launched by the Consistory, in collaboration with the school transport company Bus, "aims to improve mobility and safety on school trips and school transfers, either by road or on foot through the city."

With this striking yellow element and reflective tapes, teachers will be able to identify "quickly their students in any type of transfer, especially in the case of children who are the most vigilant children because of their young age."
Thus, these distinctive breastplates serve so that students "are identified at all times and have a contact phone with quick visibility, in case of loss, or emergency," stresses the Councilor for Education, José Manuel Mora.
"We are already delivering these vests in all the schools so that the centers themselves give them to the children in their excursions. In this way, children will be better identified in their outings. At the moment, we do not know of any other municipality in the province of Valencia that has put it in motion", highlights the mayor.
Another initiative that the City has under study is the implementation of future roads or safe routes for schoolchildren, with the aim of facilitating transfers to school, avoiding, as far as possible, the use of the private car and opting for making these itineraries on foot or by public or shared transport. Even, the City Council does not rule out the possibility that some businesses or volunteers collaborate in the transfer of children, on the way to school, reinforcing some crossings or crossing points.
The Local Police are also reinforcing, especially in the hours of entry and exit of class, the accesses to schools and institutes. From the Department of Education explain that continue to improve the transfer from home to school. In this sense, they emphasize that the minerals schools make that, practically, "there are two schedules since there are hundreds of fathers and mothers who take their children before they start the classes".
"The safety of schoolchildren is a priority and with initiatives like this the work of the teachers is facilitated and the tranquility of the parents is reinforced". Several localities have already set in motion several safe school routes to reduce traffic at peak hours and facilitate the arrival of students at their respective training centers.
