Parents/carers are legally responsible for ensuring that a child attends school. However, in some cases the local authority has a duty to support parents/carers with transport to school.
The policy documents attached describe how the local authority interprets its duty and applies its powers in the areas of home to school and home to college transport. The arrangements apply only to pupils who live in North East Lincolnshire, or who are deemed by legislation to be the responsibility of the local authority.
The 'Home to School Transport' policies refer to the current academic year and the academic year following that. The post-16 policy statement is reviewed annually and is published by 31 May for the following academic year. Also available is an information guide for parents/carers.
To apply for education transport support you need to complete the correct application form.
