The resource, "A msg in contxt", was launched at Parliament on the 15th October 2008.

A msg in contxt is an educational resource aimed at raising student awareness of the risk factors and conditions that contribute to road crashes, with a particular focus on strategies to avoid texting and driving.

A msg in contxt focuses on a fatal crash in January 2007 that claimed the lives of teenage sisters, Lucy and Isabelle. The probable catalyst for the crash was texting whilst driving.

A msg in contxt is designed to be taught by Police Education Officers, Community Constables and other Police staff, in partnership with teachers in secondary schools. It can also be used with community groups.

A msg in contxt will be distributed to all secondary schools in the coming weeks.
