KCC is offering a six-part programme called Youth Travel Ambassadors, which is open to all Kent secondary schools.

The programme covers a vast number of curriculum requirements in addition to the pupils health and wellbeing.

The course specifically supports young people in Key Stage 3 and 4 to understand the key elements of road safety relevant to their age, how Active Travel could benefit them and how they can independently travel - making safer and confident choices.

YTA teams research and develop their own behaviour change campaigns, focussing on road safety awareness and improving the student travel experience to and from school.

One of the key benefits of the programme, is that it empowers the students to identify specific areas they wish to change, and then supports them from idea to design brief.

The best bit of the programme is that schools that complete the programme and submit a brief, can seek up to £250 to make their pupils' ideas reality.

The course is offered completely virtually and can be organised as part of a focus week, or schools can arrange delivery via a session per week.
