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. This helps us to evaluate content to make sure it meets the needs of educators and their pupils.

Stay off the tracks – KS4 films

Developed in collaboration with the rail industry, these two films use visual effects and prosthetics to illustrate the life-changing consequences of interacting improperly with the railway environment.

This resource has been designed and is appropriate for the KS4 audience (14-16 years old). Both films in this resource contain certain warnings, graphic imagery, and deal with sensitive issues, such as injury and death that some may find distressing. The content is presented for educational purposes to raise awareness and understanding.

To run this activity, play the films below. Please note you may need to switch off restricted mode in YouTube to view the videos. Further information, along with discussion questions, can be found in the teacher guidance.
