After listening to those with a lived experience with a learning disability, we have successfully changed the C+ policy to make it clear that holders can use them without a companion. This is so that those who are able to travel independently where possible are not restricted from doing so.

A letter was sent to all C+ pass holders on 8th July and any new passes sent out will have clear instructions that they can be used without a companion when needed.

On Tuesday 21st May, Swindon Borough Council and the Learning Disability Partnership were joined by Swindon's Bus Company and Stagecoach West, as part of its ongoing work to ensure the best possible accessibility for all potential users of public transport across the Borough.

Recognising public transport as an enabler, representatives from both operators were also on-hand to receive feedback about its services from those attending the event - which was organised by Swindon Borough Council, along with Experts by Experience on the Learning Disability Partnership. Swindon Borough Council sees the two-way conversation as essential to making transport better.

We received fantastic feedback from all of those that attended, and the outcomes will be working in partnership on a best practice guide, and organising future events.
