Awareness and prevention

Brake

Brake, the national road safety charity, works to stop death and injury on the roads and to care for people affected by road crashes. Brake also runs educational initiatives and campaigns for tougher laws against dangerous drivers. Brake produces a range of support literature for people bereaved and injured at these particularly devastating times. This literature is distributed by the police forces following every fatal crash and often after a serious injury. Brake also runs a helpline, through which its highly trained operators can support families and friends following the aftermath of a road crash. The helpline provides both emotional support as well as practical information on the many procedures that follow a death on the road. The helpline also acts as a signposting service directing callers to counselling services, trauma therapists and self-help groups.
