- They will have more opportunities to develop important social skills
- Once they have learnt to travel alone it will be easier for them to to make new friends and meet up with the ones they already have.
- They will be able to travel independently to other places such as the cinema, leisure centre, after school clubs, work placements.
- They will be less dependent on friends and family and have greater freedom.
