School and college travel assistance

Important information

Type of assistance

We decide the type of travel assistance provided, focusing on:

  • suitability
  • sustainability
  • promoting independence

Examples of types of assistance include:

  • bus pass
  • personal travel budget
  • place on a contracted vehicle

Journeys covered

Assistance covers the journey between the child's main home address and school for the normal school day only. It does not usually cover:

  • extra-curricular activities
  • work experience
  • travel between multiple home addresses

Pick-up points

Assistance may be to/from a designated pick-up point near home. Parents are responsible for getting their child to/from this point.

Behaviour

Travel assistance can be withdrawn due to persistent unacceptable behaviour.

Changes

You must inform us immediately of any change in circumstances (address, school, needs).
