Project summary

The ‘Safe-SEND’ project aims to promote children with SEND’s road safety and support them as they transition to independent mobility. The project will achieve this through close collaboration with 50 families from Swindon and local and national stakeholders, profiling the safety challenges and dangerous scenarios they encounter and create an open-access participatory mapping tool to enable families to report the nature and locations of specific risks and challenges. Safe-SEND will ultimately facilitate the co-development of tailored interventions to make the transport system safer, more inclusive, and socially just for children with SEND.
