The website for the Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme, freebus.scot, is now live.
The website contains lots of helpful information for families and young people about free bus travel, how it works, how to apply, the benefits and some tips for travelling safely too. It also features the decision tool feature, to help you understand the different ways they can apply.
The Keep Safe Kids app is a new and easier way for children and young people to access health and wellbeing information and support as well as to report bullying directly to their school.
Pupils can open the app and make reports at any time of day or night as well as make anonymous reports, helping them to control when and how they tell someone about an incident or their concerns.
Reports are sent directly to that child or young person’s school to be picked up in line with the school’s anti-bullying and wellbeing policies. Reports are not held on the app or accessible to anyone else, ensuring confidentiality and reports will not be picked up outside standard school hours.
If you have wellbeing concerns for your child, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. We are here to help.
To find out how to download or use the Keep Safe Kids app, visit the I Am Me Scotland website.
