Travel support needs
Level 0 – Independent Travel
Students are able to travel without support and/or can travel with parent/carer or peer assistance. These students are sometimes travelling independently in the community outside school hours.
Level 1 – Capable of Independent Travel
Students have the ability to acquire and maintain skills necessary to travel to and/or from school independently. Assisted school travel may be required pending participation in an appropriate travel training program.
Level 2 – Travel in a vehicle without a Travel Support Officer
Students do not yet demonstrate the pre requisite skills for independent travel. These students require vehicular support to travel. The student may require assisted travel to and from school, without the direct support of a Travel Support Officer. A Student Behaviour Support Plan may be required for these students.
Level 3 – Travel with the assistance of a Travel Support Officer
These students have a risk assessment which indicates the need for the additional support during transit. Supervision by a Travel Support Officer is required for either health care or behaviour/safety concerns.
