About the scheme
Accessing money can be difficult for women experiencing domestic abuse, particularly if they are experiencing financial abuse. We know that it can stop women from travelling to safety and can be a huge barrier to support. The Women’s Aid Rail to Refuge scheme means that survivors with a confirmed refuge space can travel for free across England, Scotland and Wales.
It was launched in the South of England in March 2020 with Great Western Rail and Southeastern after Darren O’Brien, a Southeastern Station Manager, watched a Dispatches documentary about Reigate and Banstead Women’s Aid. From April 9th the cost of tickets has been covered by the Rail Delivery Group, and extends the scheme across all of Britian’s rail networks, until the end of March 2021.

Online with Sango - click on the image to access the book online.
This book aims to teach children about their rights and safety online. It contains six scenarios children often face in relation to the digital environment:
1. Right to play online
2. Managing screen time
3. Exposure to inappropriate content
4. Right to use digital media to learn
5. Privacy
6. Adult role modelling of positive use of digital media
Each scenario provides your child with a question and two possible answers. Reading the book with your child creates an opportunity to talk with them about being online. You can find the correct answer for each scenario at the back of this book.
As you read the book, we encourage you to talk openly with your child about what they see and do online. We also encourage you to reassure your child that they can talk to you anytime about things which happen online and that no matter what they say, they won’t get into trouble.
This book was designed for children under 9 years old. ITU also has resources on rights and safety online for older children and for children who are ready to learn more: www.itu.int/cop
