Norfolk Constabulary started their Safe Rider programme in 1998. It merged into Bikesafe, once that was created, and then out again (along with Suffolk Constabulary) for reasons I won’t go into but runs 12 courses with 12 riders on each.
It is a very similar package to Bikesafe, being advice and assessment based on the Roadcraft manual. It aims at steering people to further training and their advanced test with the IAM or RoSPA. It is a partnership project with Norfolk County Council.
Norfolk County Council also run a 2 hour 1:1 skills session based on whatever the rider needs to work on. This can be the first session of an ERS course if they client wishes it and is conducted by an ERS qualified trainer.
Both courses use access to rider skills download material as advice on how to perform the behaviour, based on key topics from the police Roadcraft manual to support their learning. These are currently undergoing revisions and can be found on http://www.norfolk.gov.uk/motorcyclists
A scooter safety presentation for schools and colleges has been re-written for 2024 and will be promoted by the police when doing their schools education package.
