Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
One of the most shocking things that happens is that children with very high needs who receive special school transport, to get to a special school that supports children with a great many difficulties, have their transport cancelled when they are moved out of the borough. Their families then have to negotiate with a council they do not know to see if they can get that transport back. There has to be a better way. There has to be better notification. That will not sort the problem of temporary accommodation, but it could just protect those families, protect councils and protect us against a huge and terrible thing happening.
