In public transport, clarity, calm and timing matter, and so does neuroinclusion. This focused training helps transport teams understand neurodiversity, communicate confidently under pressure, and support colleagues and passengers with empathy and professionalism.

Because when your people feel supported, your journeys run smoother.

What’s Covered:

  • Understanding Neurodiversity in Public Transport Settings. Explore how neurodivergence impacts focus, communication, and sensory processing in fast-moving, high-stakes environments. Learn how awareness supports safety, performance, and wellbeing on every journey.

  • Recognising Strengths and Sensory Challenges. Identify how neurodivergent colleagues and passengers experience sound, light and motion differently. Discover how awareness and design create calmer, more predictable experiences for everyone.

  • Communicating Clearly Under Pressure. Learn calm, structured communication techniques that work in time-sensitive or stressful situations, from announcements to team briefings and passenger interactions.

  • Supporting Colleagues and Passengers with Confidence. Understand how to spot signs of stress, distraction, or sensory overload, and how to respond with empathy, professionalism, and composure.

  • Creating Neuroinclusive Workflows and Procedures. Review routines, checklists and communication protocols to ensure they support focus and clarity. Learn how neuroinclusive design reduces confusion and improves safety.

  • Leading with Calm and Consistency. Build leadership confidence through empathy and structure. Understand how tone, fairness, and predictability create a strong, inclusive culture across shifts and departments.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand Neurodiversity in Public Transport Roles. Gain insight into how different thinking styles affect communication, focus and teamwork in high-pressure public transport environments.

  • Communicate Calmly and Effectively. Develop inclusive, confident communication habits that help maintain composure and clarity, even during service disruptions.

  • Support Colleagues and Passengers with Empathy. Recognise signs of stress and respond calmly and supportively to build trust and confidence.

  • Apply Neuroinclusive Procedures and Adjustments. Learn how small, practical changes to briefings, signage, timetables, and routines can make journeys more comfortable for all.

  • Empower Calm, Confident Teams. Build leadership and team habits that encourage patience, clarity, and consistency, even under time pressure.
