The programme is aimed at students with a learning difficulty or disability from Year 9 upwards including those in further education and training.
The provider of Independent Travel Training (ITT) in Newcastle is the Compass Trust (the partnership of four Newcastle special schools). ITT is not just for pupils in special schools. Schools will put forward young people who are eligible.
These will be:
- Young people who have the potential to travel independently
- Young people who currently receive Special Educational Needs and Disabilities transport and have potential to travel independently
Programmes will be tailored and delivered through school or college.
Speak to your school if you think your child/young person would benefit from Independent Travel Training.
