Decision details

(a)       That the proposed changes to the Special Educational Needs Transport Policy and the Mainstream Home to School Transport Policy as set out in paragraphs 22 to 24 of the report, be approved for consultation, including any low income contribution;

(b)       That a further report be submitted to the Cabinet in spring 2018 regarding the outcome of the consultation and presenting the final revised Policies for approval.

(KEY DECISION)

REASON FOR DECISION:

Significant growth pressures on the Council’s Special Educational Needs (SEN) transport budget mean that a review of the discretionary element of transport provision for children not of statutory school age is required to ensure future expenditure on this Service can be contained within the funding available.
