SEND Travel Training

Essex County Council - Travel Training

Students with additional needs may face challenges travelling independently between home and school or college.

If you have concerns around punctuality, road safety, or stranger awareness, you can refer them for free Travel Training sessions, delivered by Essex County Council.

What is Travel Training?

A practical, personalised programme that helps students build the skills and confidence to travel safely and independently using walking routes and public transport.

How It Works:

• Structured Sessions: Journeys are broken into manageable steps and gradually built up.

• Flexible Duration: Typically, 6–8 sessions, tailored to each student’s needs.

• One-to-One Support: Focused on a single journey, with covert shadowing once independence is achieved.

• School Hours: Training takes place during quieter times for a calmer learning experience.

To Apply:

Referrals are welcome from parents, schools and professionals.

This service helps students gain independence and travel safely.
