Your child may be eligible to receive travel assistance if they are 16 years old or under and have an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP).

You can apply for school transport through the Travel Co-ordination Unit (TCU) with the Local Authority.

Your child may be eligible for assistance if:

• They have an EHC plan.
• The school named in the EHC plan for your child or young person is the nearest suitable school, as determined by the Local Authority.
• The school your child or young person attends is beyond the statutory walking distance.
• They are attending their nearest suitable school, and they have a condition where they cannot reasonably be expected to walk, and this is supported by appropriate medical and/or specialist advice.
• Either you or your partner are disabled, such that you are unable to accompany your child to school.
