Mobile : Engaged Impact
“ Following our KEC , I reflected on our conversation around positive peer pressure and managed to enlist the help of some Stoke City under 23 players to push out positive messages . This was really well received . Rather than the police saying don ’ t do this or you will be in trouble we had young people , who hold an elevated position amongst their peers , saying we don ’ t do this , you shouldn ’ t either ” Sergeant , Central Motorway Police Group
“ All the action is filmed in the immersive and engaging VF4-360 style making learning enjoyable and repeatable . The 90 second life savers enable us to deliver quality education it a very short time that suits a lot of our audiences .” Paul Speight , Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service
Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service have built on the success of the original VF4-360 road safety film , by coming up with a new concept , a series of quick , short , sharp interventions that use behaviour change techniques to engage and educate the public in pedestrian , push-bike and motorcycle safety . All the films show pedestrians and riders making common mistakes that can put them in harm ’ s way . They show the consequences of when it does goes wrong , then re-wind the film and follow the same story line again but this time correcting the mistakes and bad habits ending with them staying out of harm ’ s way .
