24-07-2023 Independent Travel Training
The First Route Travel Training scheme supports access to public transport for young adults and adults with learning disabilities.
The scheme was set up by Enfield Council in partnership with the Metropolitan Police, Transport for London and Arriva buses, to help support individuals who were not confident with using public transport, including young adults before they transition to adult services, and adults with a learning disability.
Their sessions take place on the first Thursday of each month and give an opportunity for individuals to gain confidence to travel independently and safely, including looking at the kinds of scenarios that they could encounter on public transport.
The next sessions will be on 7th Sept, 5th Oct, 2nd Nov and 7th Dec for those who travel independently or those who use or could use, public transport with support. There are morning sessions from 10.30 am to 12 noon and afternoon sessions 12.30 pm to 2 pm (please note that the afternoon session times have been changed from the timings previously announced).
