Sometimes we give free school transport to learners who are:
- anxious or phobic about going to school and need help to attend
- vulnerable and need to be kept safe from harm
- a risk to themselves or other people in the community

The rules
Learners get this support even if they live closer to the school. We may not follow the same rules on distance.
We check to make sure learners meet all the guidelines.
Some comments
"We are a 1 car household, both parents work. Our son can’t make his own way to school as the behaviour unit is 2.5 miles away from our house and there are no regular buses. We didn’t choose for him to be placed there; it was forced as there is nothing else available for him. So it’s the council’s duty to get him to school."
