At the beginning of the year we consulted on our plans to review our transport policies in the light of revised guidance from the Department for Education and to provide equity, clarity and ease of understanding for those considering or applying for transport. The consultation results are on our website as part of the Executive Committee papers. There were a wide range of responses to the proposals for the Home to School Transport Strategy.
The Executive made a decision on 10 September to approve proposals relating to independent travel training, post 16 concessionary travel, low income post 16 financial contributions and post 16 SEN college transport. The proposal relating to qualifying schools – nearest only was not approved and was deferred for further consideration.
