What families have told us At the start new school academic year the home to school transport causes a lot problems for families i.e. transport not turning up, families not knowing what is happening etc.  Transport feels at arms length to provision / school. Families should receive information about home to school transport as soon as they are offered a place at a school.  There is a lack of flexibility with transport if a child is on shorter or longer days, and is not available during transitions. Not always a designated driver, can be a different driver everyday.  Doesn’t cater for split families, and only pick up from one address.  Families are not aware of the process for cancelling transport etc. Need a user friendly transport application form.   The local authorities and health’s future plans  Leeds City Council’s transformation team will be conducting a review of Children’s Transport.  The Leeds Parent Carer Forum involved in meeting with Cllrs and reps from LCC’s Children’s Transport team.  Further training and input to ensure that the health needs of children and young people who have SEND are met while they are supported by the escorts in the transport team.
