Bromley children may be eligible for assistance with travel expenses from home to school.
Travel training
Travel training is offered to young people with SEND who use assisted home to school transport to get to and from sixth form or college. The travel trainers have a clear process to work with SEND young people and their parents to provide skills and confidence that will help them to become independent travellers.
Our travel training coaching is delivered by the Bexley Accessible Transport Scheme (BATS) who will devise a bespoke plan for each learner.
Talk to your SENCo or the person responsible for SEND at college about this training.
