Switched On is a free educational rail safety programme. In order to continue to deliver high quality, engaging resources we have introduced a registration page requiring users to sign up to be able to download resources.

On-demand video: what new rail safety guidance means for schools

As of September 2026, updated Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSE) statutory guidance introduced a clearer focus on personal safety. As part of this, schools are expected to help pupils understand and manage risks they may encounter in everyday environments, including around railways.

Watch our on-demand webinar to hear from rail safety and education experts on what the guidance means for schools, why rail safety education matters, and how to embed it within existing PSHE, safeguarding and personal safety provision.
