Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People, which
sought approval for two policies relating to school travel and transport.
The Board was advised that the Local Authority had a statutory duty to
ensure suitable travel arrangements were made, where necessary, to facilitate a
child’s attendance at school. At the meeting of Executive Board on 19 January
2017, the Board approved revised criteria and an application process for
inclusion in the Home to School and College Travel and Transport Policy for
Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Following this, two separate policy documents were finalised and
presented for the Board’s approval.

Home to School and College Travel and Transport Policy for Children and Young
People with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, and the Home to School
Travel and Transport Policy (Statutory School Age), be approved.
