Closed Create new requirements for public transport for SEN school students

Closed on

Revise the current transportation regulations and requirements for transporting SEN pupils to and from home and education settings. I.e. Require enhanced vetting, awareness and training, vehicle CCTV with audio to protect staff and pupils, enhanced vehicle checks and good communication.

From a recent incident with our son and stories from other parents, we decided to try and do something about it. After a long conversation with a member of staff at our local authority, we believe that the requirements for private hire transportation for both SEN and mainstream schools are completely inadequate.

This needs to change to ensure that these types of incidents and problems don’t continue and that both pupils and staff are protected and fully able to carry out their duties. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
