WAKEFIELD COUNCIL
CONSULTATION – POST 16 TRANSPORT
POLICY FOR LEARNERS AGED 16-18 AND
CONTINUING LEARNERS IN FURTHER
EDUCATION AGED 19-24
Wakefield Council would welcome any feedback from young people aged 16-18 and their parents/ carers and continuing learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities aged 19-24 and their parents/carers on its proposed Post 16 Transport Policy for 2025/2026.
The consultation period is between Monday 28 April 2025 and Friday 9 May 2025.
The proposed Post 16 Transport Policy sets out the Local Authority’s criteria for determining eligibility for assistance with travel for 2025/2026. The proposed policy also sets out how decisions are made and how learners and/or parents/carers may appeal against decisions not to award assistance with travel. The proposed policy is intended to provide clarity for parents/carers and young people facing a wide range of circumstances and to ensure that young people with particular and significant needs are appropriately supported.
Full details of the policy and consultation can be viewed on the Council’s website by searching for Post 16 Transport.
