May meetings:
1. Advisory Group meeting at the IHC library, Wellington
We discussed future strategy and screened the Road Crossing video clip produced by the Coffs Harbour City Council. Feedback was that main themes addressed were good - but that the content for our resource should be more engaging for our target age group. The Advisory Group agreed to the timeline proposed in section 5 below.
2. Young Consultants Group workshop, Palmerston North
Young Consultants: engaged and excited. Whilst the office Young Consultants Group has come to an end, the Travel Safe project will allow them to continue work together and offers exciting future possibilities
Baseline material: some Young Consultants were filmed talking about their engagement with the Safe Travel project.

Travel safe : a guide to being out and about for people with learning disabilities
By Department for Regional Development, Northern Ireland, 2011
"This guide will help when you are out and about and need to use a bus, train or taxi. It explains some of the things that you need to know to travel safely by yourself. When we made this guide we found out everything we could about travelling safely. We read other guides, we looked things up on the internet, we talked to the police and to road safety officers. We also talked to people with learning disabilities about what they felt people needed to know. When we had done all that, we put all the information together in this book. To help make this book easy to understand, we took pictures of the things you will see when you are travelling. We hope that this book helps you to get out and about and travel safely." New Zealand readers should note that this publication comes from Ireland so telephone numbers will not be relevant and some features may be unfamiliar.
