Transport will be arranged by the most economical means available, consistent with the safety and needs of the child. This means that pupils will normally travel together on larger vehicles and the assumption will be made that no special equipment will be necessary and that no special equipment will be carried. It is acknowledged, however, that some pupils with a physical disability and/or a medical condition will sometimes have to transport equipment with them to allow mobility both at home and at school.
Transport will be provided normally within a maximum of 10 working days once a placement has been agreed and the Transport Team receives notification.
- Medway Council, acting as the Local Authority (LA), does not provide transport for after school clubs.
- The LA provides transport for those pupils attending work experience if they rely on a wheelchair for mobility or if they are blind. All other pupils must make their own way to and from their work experience placement as part of their work experience.
- Re-scheduling of vehicles will take place as appropriate in the light of changing needs.
