There are lots of training documents dealing with travel safety but the coproduction team at our St Albans Community felt that they could go one step further. With a little help from staff, members of the team including the stars, Alex, Lou, Ruth and Ed, produced an Independent travel training film, which walks the viewer through different modes of transport and provides clear advice in real-life settings.
Cycling, pedestrian safety and using public transport are all featured in the short film, accompanied by narration from the team who explain everything from buying a ticket and negotiating timetables, to wearing the right protective gear when cycling.
The new film has been shared with everyone around the charity and this peer support tool is proving a useful aid in building knowledge and confidence when travelling. And an excellent achievement for those involved.
