Transport for pupils with special educational
needs
Children’s services provide transport for
pupils with special educational needs (SEN) to both day and
residential schools in Tower Hamlets and elsewhere.
All of our police-checked drivers and
passenger assistants have been trained to greet passengers politely
and ensure that they travel in comfort and safety.
Our SEN transport operates to scheduled times
and arrives at the collection and drop off point at these times,
subject to traffic conditions. We advise parents/carers of their
child’s transport arrangements (pick up and drop off times) before
the journey starts.
Our multi-lingual brochure contains details of
transport services available to children with special educational
needs when travelling from home to school, as well as eligibility
guidelines. The brochure also contains information about:
- The law
- The decision making process
- The special education needs code of practice
- Transport arrangements
- The transport provider
- The standards of the transport unit
- The parent’s responsibilities
- How to complain or make suggestions
- How to get in touch
