Each local authority should be offering free transport to enable the above aims to be reached in an inclusive way, ensuring there is equality in relation to the provision offered. The government require young people to stay in education until age 18, and therefore should be providing free access to it, fundamentally including the transport to get there! Most parents cannot afford this huge expense, directly impacting on their chikd’s life chances. This should not be a local authority decision.
