Description
Transport assistance may be provided in various ways including a bus pass for use on public services, an escort to accompany the child on foot or on public transport, a mini bus or, in very exceptional circumstances, an individual taxi. However, the expectation is that as the pupil grows older and matures they will come to use public transport wherever possible.
Medway Council has a duty under DFE "Post 16 Transport to Education and Training" Statutory Guidance for local authorities (February 2014) to consider travel arrangements for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and to reassess these arrangements at key life moments.
The DFE Guidance also strongly recommends travel training schemes to enable young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities to gain skills which can be used for travelling to education or training, particularly because of the all round benefits.
