A recent survey by the LiveLighter campaign has found more than two in three Australian children are being driven to school.
This follows the results of recent studies finding that almost 60 percent of parents say their children’s schools are too far to walk, with 35 percent saying time was a factor and one-quarter of parents believing there is a lack of safe routes.
The results were released a week before most Australian children were set to return to school, in a bid to encourage parents to think of ways to incorporate more physical activity into their children’s schedules.
