Travelsafe

Every day Translink transports around 20% of Northern Ireland’s school population to and from school on a daily basis- that’s approximately 65,000 children and young people.

The safety and comfort of all passengers remains Translink’s top priority and our aim is to provide a safe and efficient transport system to the community. We believe our local schools can play a role in assisting us to achieve this.
  
Travel Safe DVD

Translink have produced a new Educational Safety DVD and Learning pack for young people called ‘Travel Safe’. This pack has been specifically developed for use by Key Stage 3 pupils and their teachers.

The DVD is made up of a series of short documentary style programmes and dramas for separate bus and rail services.  Ultimately, the DVD and learning pack promotes a very positive message.  The pack emphasises that everybody needs public transport; it’s enjoyable, safe, convenient and good for the environment.

The aim of this pack is that students will watch the DVD and then reflect on it through discussion and questioning. The notes attempt to put young people at the centre of their own learning-watching and then reflecting on the dramas in their own terms-relating to their environment and how they would feel in a similar situation.
  
Committed to Safety

Translink is committed to improving safety standards, however we require the full co-operation of everyone, including parents, schools, colleges, pupils and our staff to ensure that the journey to and from school is a safe, reliable and comfortable experience.

Our priority is to keep our children safe and enjoy using public transport.  We can do this by:

• Demonstrating the importance and benefits of public transport to society.
• Encouraging safe use and good behaviour on board.
• Identifying potential accidents.
• Showing the consequences of anti-social behaviour.

Translink is most willing to support this Education Pack in other ways and if requested will:

• arrange a visit to your school/community group from our safety bus and safety team.  Visit our Child Bus Safety page >>
• send along a local representative to your class or school to speak on or to answer questions related to the ‘Travel Safe’ package.
• arrange a class visit to the local railway or bus station.
