The National Youth Agency: New guidance will help put young on right road to positive activities

1 min read
The National Youth Agency (NYA) has produced new guidance for children's trust and transport planners on providing valid and reliable services and transport information for young people to secure access to positive activities.

The guidance, produced for the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department of Transport, showcases a range of innovative solutions developed by local authorities and their partners from around the country.

Key messages include the importance of joint planning between children's trusts and transport planners from an early stage and reviewing and revising existing arrangements to provide a holistic approach to young people's transport needs. Young people and those who support them should be involved in transport planning and information on transport should be publicised alongside information on positive activities and youth services. The potential for corporate or commercial bus companies to contribute towards the cost of concessionary fares for young people should also be explored.
