Access our free bus driver training materials
Sight Loss Councils and Thomas Pocklington Trust (TPT) have launched free, approved bus driver training materials in partnership with Brighton and Hove Buses for bus and coach drivers across the UK. These resources aim to educate drivers on how to best support blind or partially sighted (BPS) passengers.
On this page, you can find films which make up some of the content of this training.
