Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [HL]Contribution
The real-life consequences for families are profound. Reliable SEND transport services are not just a convenience; they are a lifeline. These services ensure that children with special needs can attend school, access vital education and participate in social and extracurricular activities. For parents, the ability to work and maintain a sense of normalcy in their lives hinges on these services. Without them, parents may be forced to give up their jobs and care for their children full time, leading to potential financial hardship and a loss of independence. Many parents have already shared how invaluable these transport services are in allowing them to continue working and supporting their families.
