RoSPA are looking for several employers who would like their young drivers (17-24) to take part in the free workshop between July and October.

Based on the workshops an online guide for employers, and others (e.g., road safety officers, driver trainers) will be produced, containing the workshop structure and materials and a guide to its delivery. This will be published in March 2010.
