Using this compendium

Who is this compendium for ?
We think that , as you have reached page 5 of this compendium , it is likely that you are in some way concerned about the issue of mobile phone use by drivers . Perhaps you suspect that this is a problem in the area in which you work , or for a particular group that you work with and want to try to understand more so that you can achieve more . Perhaps you know you have a problem with drivers adopting this behaviour , but are not sure what the best option is to address it . Perhaps you are already active in this area , but not sure if you are getting the results you want - or why you are getting the results you are . Equally , it may also be that you are reading this because you have been tasked with ‘ doing something ’ and you need a bit more background and understanding before you decide what that ‘ something ’ is . This compendium has been developed to support you , no matter what the current stage of your journey , be that thinking , planning , doing , reflecting or evaluating .
We have tried to make the volume as accessible as possible , based on our conversations with practitioners about what they want and need and we even road-tested it on a few professionals to see if we have tackled the right issues in the right order . We have referenced some key ideas throughout , but have tried to keep things as practical and useful as possible . We could never cover every idea , every approach , and every research finding , but we hope we have at least given you the curiosity to find out more and some pointers for how to do that .
How to use this compendium
This compendium can be used in different ways depending upon how you need it to work for you :,
• If you are looking for guidance as to how to develop your own approach to tackling mobile phone use by drivers , then we suggest you work through this compendium starting at the beginning and then choosing a route through what you need , to the end .
• If you have already decided to pursue a particular option , you can turn straight to the relevant section - but we think it would still be a good idea to start at the beginning to see if we can surprise you with something you didn ’ t know or hadn ’ t considered !
We know that time is precious and resources are limited so we start by making sure that it ’ s actually worth your while reading this volume in the first place - hence Part 1 .
