As part of a wider initiative to support young people, we have worked with Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Greater Manchester Police and other local partners to develop a range of travel training resources.
These materials are designed to support young people on their journey towards independent travel, promoting well-being by helping them build confidence and develop essential skills at their own pace.
The resources were co-created with individuals with additional needs in partnership SENDCode, a Manchester-based digital agency that empowers talented young neurodivergent creatives, and Manchester’s Digital Independent Specialist College (DISC). A special thank you to students from Oakwood Academy 6th Form in Salford for featuring in the videos.
Greater Manchester Independent Travel Guide
We have created an travel guide that has practical guidance on journey planning, ticketing, staying safe, overcoming common challenges, and how to access further support.
