Equal Access to Safe and Supportive School Transport for Children with Special Educational Needs


Equal Access to Safe and Supportive School Transport for Children with Special Educational Needs
The Issue
As a concerned parent, I am deeply troubled by the lack of appropriate support and interaction provided to children with special educational needs (SEN) during their daily commute to school. My son, like many others, attends an SEN school located an hour away from our home. It is disheartening to witness the local authority's decision to send multiple children with complex needs on this journey without any escorts or adequate support.
Personal Story:
My son's journey to his SEN school has become a daily struggle due to the absence of proper assistance and interaction during transportation. Each day, he embarks on a long and challenging trip where he is left vulnerable without the necessary support he deserves. Witnessing him endure this ordeal has compelled me to take action and advocate for change.
