Project summary

The University of Greenwich explored the role of volunteers in roads policing initiatives, including the CSW scheme, improving their deployment and management.

The project established ‘what works’ and ‘why’ in road safety, supported collaboration between the police and universities, and influenced road safety policy and practice.

A CSW conference took place in June 2023 bringing together police practitioners, CSW volunteers, policy makers and road safety practitioners together to look at ways to make CSW a more effective tool for roads policing and education. The project has also produced a series of infographics summarising key recommendations for CSW groups.

Spot On Creative is a Northants-based creative team who have the hard-earned skills, expertise and industry knowledge that only come from having worked for years in advertising. It’s all managed by Lynne Dickens who has over 20 years’ experience in marketing communications, and ten years in website design and build, and creative team project management.

Lynne is also a qualified art historian and has some expertise in curating fine art exhibitions and producing all of the catalogues, posters and supporting material to create a successful event.

All the guys in our team have worked for one-man bands, SMEs and large blue-chip multinationals in just about every sector, field and industry. We can come up with great ideas, superb design and copy, and exceptional photography for anything from websites to email campaigns, branding to brochures – and everything in between.

And the beauty of Spot On Creative is that we’re big in creativity, experience and knowledge, but small in overheads and invoices. So we’re a much more sensible and affordable option for you than a larger advertising agency or marketing company.
