Infrastructure Support Solutions (ISS) has joined the national effort to prevent youth trespass incidents on Britain’s railways by becoming the newest sponsor of Rail Safe Friendly.

Powered by Learn Live, Rail Safe Friendly provides digital-first rail safety content straight into primary and secondary classrooms across the UK & Ireland. The interactive programme, which broadcasts live modules and on-demand safety guidance, has educated over 3 million children across more than 16,000 schools since its inception in March 2023.

The financial support from ISS directly boosts the campaign’s scale, providing more schools with funded access to live broadcasts and helping them secure formal safety accreditation levels.

As a leading supplier of skilled personnel across Track, Civils, OLE and Signalling, ISS recognises that maintaining a safe network requires action both inside and outside the railway boundary.

Stuart Heaton, Managing Director of Learn Live and Rail Safe Friendly, said:

“Partnering with Infrastructure Support Solutions brings vital momentum to our mission. ISS understands the operational realities of the railway, making their backing of preventative safety education all the more meaningful. Thanks to their support, together we can deliver our safety message into even more classrooms, equipping thousands of children with life-saving knowledge before they ever set foot near a track.”

Nick Baxter, Director at ISS, said:

Our people work on the rail infrastructure around the UK every day and so rail safety is at the core of all we do. Partnering with Rail Safe Friendly is a natural extension of that, giving us the opportunity to take the same values we hold for our own workforce out into schools and enabling us to help get this critical message in front of children around the country, the more of them who understand these dangers, the safer our railways become for everyone
