Yes, you can bring a representative, for example, a friend, a relative, or your county councillor. At the hearing either you, the person with you or both of you can put forward your own case and ask questions. You might find it helpful to decide in advance who is going to speak and to make a note of the things you want to say.
School transport appeals and complaints
If you have been turned down for transport or you are unhappy with the transport your child has been offered you can contact a transport coordination officer (TCO) who will discuss this with you.
If we can’t meet your request you can ask to appeal against the decision. To speak to a TCO about submitting an appeal please call 0345 155 1019.
Please note that it is preferable for all appeals to be submitted online as office bases are not fully staffed every day.
