I am writing to request the following information regarding children and young people in relation to Post 16 transport: –
Are there any planned changes to the local authorities post 16 transport policy? If so:
● Please provide us with details of the proposed changes including but not limited to details of any funding cuts, a breakdown of any funding cuts, how the changes are going to be implemented and from when.
● How many children are the local authority currently providing transport for and what is the cost of this?
● Where there is going to be a possible loss of transport, what alternative is going to be offered?
● Has an equality and impact assessment been carried out with regards to the children and young people that will be affected by these changes, funding cuts/loss of transport? If so, please provide us with a copy of any documentation relating to this.
In response to all of the above questions, we can confirm that there are no planned changes to this policy. We therefore do not hold any of the information requested.
