Travel information for employment
In preparation for adulthood, it is expected that the majority of young people beyond the age of 16 will travel independently to their place of work. There will be a small number who, after travel training, require further assistance.
A travel scheme called Access To Work is available, for more information on this you can visit the government website: Access to work
