Hello Sandwell! 👋

We’ve had a fantastic afternoon at Blackheath Library, with some of our trainees who have successfully completed their Entry Level 3 Award in Skills for Travelling Independently.

It’s brilliant to see such a positive and motivated group of individuals who have worked incredibly hard to develop their confidence, build their independence and achieve their qualification.

A huge well done to everyone — you should all be incredibly proud of yourselves! 👏🌟

Another level 2 course done ✅

Over the past days, we have been at the Walsall Council House delivering our Skills for Teaching Independent Travel course to some of their wonderful staff!

The purpose of this course is to provide people with the skills to teach independent travel (i.e. travel training). It has been great to hear that they aim to incorporate travel training into some of their service areas.

We will be back here next week for another two day course!

Hi Sandwell 👋🏻

In celebration of Learning Disability Week, we at the Independent Travel Training Unit have put together a short compilation showcasing the achievements of our trainees!

Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing a series of engaging interviews and stories from our trainees, giving greater insight into their experiences and successes.

As we move forward, we will also be placing a stronger emphasis on our social media platforms to share more updates, highlight achievements, and keep our community informed and inspired.

On Friday, we were proud to exhibit at the Careers Without Barriers event at St Michael’s CE High School as part of National Internship Day. We met some incredible people, had meaningful conversations about independent travel, and were inspired by so many students eager to build their independence and explore new possibilities.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and proud to support the next generation of independent travellers 🟠🟠

Hello Sandwell! 👋

As part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we had the honour of interviewing inspirational speaker Dan Noon about his journey to becoming an independent traveller and how he strives to inspire others through his experiences.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a time to celebrate the skills and talents of neurodiverse individuals, help break down barriers and stereotypes, and work towards a brighter future.
