Inclusion details

How we make our service inclusive

Where a child is attending his or her nearest qualifying school (or designated school if it is not the nearest) which is within walking distance, but is unable to walk to that establishment (accompanied as necessary) by reason of their SEN and/or disability, he or she will be eligible for transport free of charge.

This includes where a child has a mobility problem caused by a temporary medical condition, e.g. a broken leg.

Where a child lives within walking distance of the nearest qualifying school (or designated school if it is not the nearest) but the route relies on a disabled parent/carer accompanying that child for it to be considered safe, and the parent/carer’s disability prevents them from doing so, he or she will be eligible for transport free of charge.

Applications in this category will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will require evidence from a relevant medical professional (e.g. doctor). Evidence of factors such as receipt of Higher Level Disability Living Allowance (DLA) may also be requested to assess the level of need.
