Post-16 Transport Policy Statement 2024/25

For families with more than one student in the household with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, e.g. siblings, who have transport organised by the Council, full payment is required for each student. This is the case regardless of whether they are travelling in the same vehicle or not.

Payments are required for transport organised by the Council (except for the circumstances outlined in section 6.5). Payments need to be made within 28 days of the Council confirming the transport fees that apply. Any non-payment will result in the withdrawal of transport. Parents/carers will be notified in writing of the date that transport will end. Transport will not be reinstated until any outstanding charges are paid.

Transport will not be withdrawn while a review due to severe financial hardship is underway i.e. a Severe Financial Hardship review application form and supporting evidence has been submitted to the Council and the application is being considered.
