Home School Transport Changes

News

It came up in the HabVIUK Knowledge Exchange on Tuesday, that a number of local authorities are planning to remove or restrict access to home school transport for pupils of non-statutory school age. This would apply to children 0-4 in EYFS and post 16 pupils -16-18 going into sixth form.

If the pupils you support are likely to be impacted by these or other types of changes regarding Home School Transport, we’d like to hear from you. Please email: secretary@habilitationviuk.org.uk


This could potentially impact on Hab Specialists workload, create unrealistic expectations, and make children and young people with vision impairment even more vulnerable.
