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.
