Children are our future passengers. We are committed to educating young people about public transport and safety issues.
We employ a Schools and Community Liaison Officer who is responsible for promoting the Metro and its safety message to school children and to the wider community of Tyne and Wear.
Key duties include developing and implementing:
- a strategy for Nexus's involvement in schools and community groups
- crime prevention initiatives and campaigns for young people; and
- a strategy to reduce anti-social behaviour caused by young people on Metro.
