SEN Post 19 Transport Ages 19-25

Students aged over 19 with special educational needs (SEND) and social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD)
The Council will consider if it is necessary to make arrangements for the provision of transport pursuant to Section 508F of the Education Act 1996.
The Council will consider each individual applicant on a case by case basis and if it concludes that such arrangements are necessary, the transport will be provided.
Once a placement at an educational facility has been secured an application will need to be submitted and then assessed by the Passenger Transport Group.
To qualify for any travel assistance an application must be submitted for each individual applicant. Where the Council has determined that it is not necessary to provide assistance under Section 508F of the Education Act, it may nevertheless, be appropriate to assess an individual who may be eligible for social care needs under the Care Act 2014. Any travel assistance identified within that process may be subject to a contribution.

If the applicant is aged lower than 19 years of age, an alternative form is available to complete here. For full details on eligibility and schemes available can be found here.

When might it be necessary for the council to provide travel assistance

In determining whether the Council needs to provide assistance with transport, the Council will consider on an individual basis why it may be necessary for the Council and not the learner or family to make suitable travel arrangements. To determine whether transport may be necessary the Council will consider the following factors, please provide as much detail as you can.

Does the learner reside in Shropshire: * Yes
No

Does the learner have an Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP) with details of their individual needs: * Yes
No

What other arrangements have been considered or tried and why are they not suitable:*

What funding is available for transport from the institution (such as bursaries) that the learner is attending? (There is an expectation that these have been actively applied for): *

Is there a family member that may be willing to transport the learner: * Yes
No

Is the learner in receipt of higher rate mobility component of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP)? (This would be considered as a means of securing independent travel assistance.) If there are any factors limiting its use please provide details of this: * Yes
No

Is there a Motability Vehicle? It is expected under the terms of its use that the learner will directly benefit from its use, if a decision has been made not to use the Motability vehicle to enable the learner to attend their Post 19 education placement, the learner would normally be expected to make their own appropriate alternative arrangements. If this is not possible applicants will need to provide details to explain why: *

Does the learner have a journey to the educational or training institution that cannot be undertaken on public transport due to availability of public services or because of the learner’s special needs or disabilities? (Please give details): *
