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 to achieve this.  
  
Travel Safe DVD and Learning Pack

Translink have produced an Educational Safety DVD and Learning Pack for young people called ‘Travel Safe’, which highlights the importance of safety on public transport. The 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 and has recently been redeveloped to include a new chapter focusing on the use of seatbelts and general road safety on or near buses.

Translink is committed to improving safety standards, however we require the full support and 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 Educational Pack in other ways and if requested will:

• arrange a visit to your school/community group from our award winning 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.
