If your child has additional support needs and is in receipt of home to school transport, you may wish to look at our Code of Practice. The document outlines the expectations, roles, responsibilities and duties of all those involved in transporting pupils to and from home to school.
In particular, Parents/Cares of children and young people should follow these guidelines:
- Meet the vehicle morning/afternoons at your identified pick up point and time
- Make sure your child is well enough to travel and attend school
- Submit a new Home to School Travel Application if you are changing address
- Be aware the driver is not authorised to drop your child at a different address
- Let the Contractor and School know if your child will not travel on any day
- Let the driver know if your child suffers from car sickness whilst travelling
- Ensure your child visits the toilet before the journey
- Advise the Driver/Travel Assistant about what might comfort/upset your child
- Exchange mobile numbers with the Driver/Travel Assistant
- Call the ASN Travel Team if you are unexpectedly delayed
Home to School Travel Assistance Applications must be submitted every year. If you do not apply, there is no guarantee your child will continue to receive travel assistance.
For guidance and support, please contact the ASN Travel Team on 01382 433848 or 07585 998909.
