1. Please could I have information on how much Devon County Council spent per year on transport for SEND adults before the travel training scheme was implemented?
Devon County Council has a Reaching For Independence scheme which offers independence training for adults who have special educational needs and disabilities, and this includes an element of travel training, however Devon County Council does not have a SEND adults training scheme in place, and does not keep records of transport costs for individual service user types, therefore this information is not held by Devon County Council.
In the interests of providing advice and assistance, the Devon County Council learning disability transport budget as a whole is £1.076m for 2021/22.
2. How much is spent per year with the travel training programme in place?
As Devon County Council has not implemented the travel training scheme, this question is not applicable.
3. Has the travel training programme saved the council money?
As Devon County Council has not implemented the travel training scheme, this question is not applicable.
