Amey’s Post

Yesterday, I had the privilege of conducting our first in-person Rail Safe Friendly (RSF) school visit on the Amey @CEFA/CAFA account. Alongside fellow volunteers Emily Green and Michelle Gard, we visited a primary school in York. RSF is part of the Amey Railway 200 celebrations in 2025, marking 200 years of UK Rail. This was a great way to kick off the celebrations and teach children about railway dangers, equipping them with safety skills, and discussing the social and environmental benefits of rail travel. We also introduced various railway job roles to inspire them to consider future careers in Rail. Our visit to Clifton Green Primary School involved presenting the workshop to two Year 6 classes, reaching 55 students. The school welcomed us wholeheartedly, and the children were eager to learn and participate. They asked lots of amazing questions and provided great answers to ours. Every child was engaged, with hands raised, and it's fair to say they had a fantastic time! The Amey “Shout Out” button was a hit, and the students enjoyed using the VR headsets and trying on PPE. I'm confident the learning will be something they remember and share with their friends and families. I'm looking forward to the next visit! #RailSafeFriendly #zerotrespass #shoutout #rail #schoolengagement #cliftongreenprimary@york.gov.uk James Holmes Kevin Shelton Gavin Fulcher Joe Docherty Saint Miles Jonathan Humphries LLB, ChPP, FAPM, MIoL Laura Davies Mark Shreeve Cmgr MCMI,TechIOSH, MAPM Jake Hanson (Learn Live) Stuart Heaton (Learn Live) Kathryn Ogdin (Learn Live) Heather Thompson (Learn Live)
