Enriched Independent Travel Training

Working in partnership with Derby City Council’s Home to School Travel Service, Transition2 is the City’s lead on Independent Travel Training, delivering the Local Authority’s contract for ITT through an enriched programme of bespoke training for young people in Derby.

Training to use public transport not only allows young people to increase their self-management, organisational and practical navigation skills, it also helps to embed functional literacy and numeracy within exciting and meaningful activities. Independent travel training can be very empowering for young people, as they learn to rely on themselves and take responsibility for their safety and belongings in the community. It can also be a catalyst to other aspects of development as a young adult, such as aspiring to have a job or being more socially confident to build relationships with others.
