Cycle Helmets

Julie Greenwood —

Is your child's cycle helmet providing the best protection ?

We have the CCC Cycle safe team working with our Year 6's this week. 

When working in schools they check to ensure helmets are  adjusted correctly.  This is a link to a good site regarding checking and wearing helmets correctly.

They also check the helmets, paying particular attention to ensure there is no cracking in the polystyrene inner which means the helmet will not provide the protection needed.

Helmets are often dropped on the ground and parents may not notice damage to the inside of the helmet.  

It is timely to check your child's helmet.

A photo below shows how the cracking may look.
