Introduction and background

Changes to travel assistance policy for pupils in Coventry with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Every Local Authority has an obligation to provide travel assistance for pupils based a number of specific criteria.

At the moment, Coventry City Council is providing a service which is above the statutory minimum and in the current financial climate, we can no longer afford to do this.

We are proposing to make changes to the existing travel assistance policies and are consulting with local people to see what they think of the proposal. The full consultation document and supporting information is available on the Council website. You are asked to look at the proposal and let us know what you think by completing this short survey.

Following this consultation, all views will be considered and a paper will go to the Council’s Cabinet in early 2015 to make recommendations about the future policy.

No personal data you provide will be published.

This consultation will run from 24th November 2014 to 23 January 2015.
