Parents and carers are being invited to take part in a free webinar designed to help families support young people as they learn to drive and begin driving independently.

The event, organised by Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership, will take place on Thursday 19 March 2026 from 6-7pm and will bring together specialist speakers in road safety and young driver development.

Research shows that newly qualified drivers face the greatest risk during their first six to 12 months on the road, particularly within their first 1,000 miles of independent driving.

During this time, parents can have a significant influence on how young drivers approach risk and develop safe driving habits.

The webinar will provide practical advice for families on how to support young drivers during the learning process and in the months after passing their test.

Topics covered during the session will include:

choosing and working with an approved driving instructor
supporting a young driver through the learning-to-drive process
helping young drivers continue developing their skills after passing their test.

The free online event is open to parents and carers, with young people also welcome to attend.
