Under Sevens Organisers (USOs) play a very important role in educating out children in the dangers associated with the road and how to keep yourself safe. Their role involves visiting infant schools and nurseries in the area and delivering the road safety message in a fun but informative way. The USO´s use a variety of visual aids, such as puppet shows, dressing up clothes, posters, and mini-versions of things such as zebra crossings in order to perform stories and songs that help to emphasise safety points.
These entertaining and informative sessions help make the children more aware of roads and their dangers from an early age, thus preparing them for junior school where they are more than likely to encounter road traffic and the hazards that it incorporates. Currently there are ten USOs operating throughout Greater Gwent, each with there our area to cover.
