Precious Cargo, is part of The City of Hull’s Focus on Safety, which is a partnership initiative which began in 2001. The project is run through publicity and enforcement campaigns. Education and awareness begins with the ante natal education of parents, followed by pre-school and then road safety education for children in schools. Two yearly publicity campaigns are run using advertising posters on buses and radio to support the campaigns.
