In this section of the Independent Travel Toolkit you will find resources for professionals working with young people, to help reinforce learning around the topics of going out independently.

To learn more about providing some direct training to a young person check out the I’m a Parent/Carer section.

To help a young person find out information for themselves direct them to the I’m a Young Person section.

The information is aimed at supporting young people who will be able to travel independently at some point, to promote independence and confidence. For young people with SEND, we understand this may be more challenging. Whilst the toolkit may provide some helpful tips and resources, Suffolk County Council does offer Travel Training to young people and adults with SEND, using a 1:1 specialist trainer. Also as part of this service the team offer class talks/workshops and the Travel Training Foundation Course to groups of Year 9 students.

There are teaching resources online from platforms like Twinkl. Many of these are only available if you are signed up to their content. Using the boxes below you should find links to online resources and printable resources for you to use.
