How it works
Your child will be paired up with their own experienced travel trainer. The trainer will conduct full risk assessments on a safe route to school or college and then accompany your child as they travel on public transport.
On the way, they will pass on skills, hints and tips to help them get ready for making the journey on their own.
The training covers:
- safe road crossing
- confidence in using different types of transport
- how to plan a journey
- getting to know their route
- what to do if something goes wrong
- personal safety
- using money, Oyster Cards and tickets.
As their skills develop over time, they will travel more and more of the journey on their own, until they are travelling safely and completely independently.
