This Railway Safety presentation, delivered in partnership with British Transport Police, raises awareness of the risks and consequences of trespassing on the railway. It explains what trespass is, why the railway environment is extremely dangerous, and how trains, electricity, and enforcement differ from everyday road environments. The presentation also explores personal responsibility, the wider impact of trespass on others, mental health awareness, and how to seek help or report concerns. Real‑life examples and national safety campaigns are used to reinforce key messages.
Warning: There is a video in the presentation that contains emotive content that may be triggering for some learners.
