Transport and escort

Safe, escorted transport for young people

We go beyond getting young people from A to B. Our drivers are trained keyworkers and mentors who make every journey safe, calm and supportive.

What we do

  • School runs

    We collect young people from home and make sure they arrive safely at school or their provision. We go in with them and hand over to the right member of staff.

  • Support on the way

    Keyworker-drivers offer support, advice and guidance on every journey, with the same staff wherever possible.

  • Real-time updates

    We keep parents, carers and social workers informed and collect information from schools.

  • Moving home

    We help young people moving to a new home within London or elsewhere in the UK.

Our vehicles

  • 7-seater vehicles for small groups or individual needs
  • A wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) for young people with mobility needs
  • Mid-sized cars for individual journeys

Every vehicle is regularly maintained and equipped for safety, accessibility and comfort.

Transport should never be a barrier

We go the extra mile so our transport is convenient and inclusive for every young person, including those with special educational needs and disabilities.
