Post 16 transport policy consultation

Post 16 transport policy consultation 2025

The Council is required by law to consult on its Post-16 Transport policy each year. We must publish our policy for the next academic year by 31 May.

We offer a transport service for Post-16 students with special educational needs and disabilities. These students usually have an Education, Health and Care Plan. This is to access a place that is the closest suitable provision for their needs. This is under discretionary power.

The proposed change to the policy

The Council proposes to increase a parental contribution from £570 per academic year in 2024/25 to £582.54 per academic year for 2025/26. The increase is in line with the transport element of the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
