  • Transport Policy Statements for Students in Further Education Aged 16–18 and Continuing Students Aged 19. Name of LEA : Hampshire Department Responsible: Education
    Transport policy statements for students in further education aged 16–18 and continuing students aged 19. Name of LEA : Hampshire Department Responsible: Education Hampshire County Council 2017/18 Transport policy statement for students in further education aged 16-19, continuing students and young people aged 19-24 with learning disabilities 1. Commitment Hampshire County Council and its post 16 providers are committed to ensuring transport is available to enable students to access education and training as set out in this policy statement. Support is provided either by the County Council or post 16 providers. This policy statement applies for 2017/18 only and sets out the support available. There is no automatic entitlement to free home to school or college transport once a student is over 16. The authority has considered its resources and the travel to college opportunities for students. Students can attend a college of choice and, if needed apply to their college’s student support for assistance. The cost and mechanical process of transporting young people with special educational needs is greater and more complex. HCC recognises that families may need a transport service to ensure that 16+ SEN students can access a place that is suitable for their needs and so do offer, under discretionary powers, a transport service that requires an annual parental contribution. 2. General transport available There are a number of public transport service providers in Hampshire. Colleges and schools in Hampshire have their own transport arrangements but the situation does vary. Students should check with their establishment about the transport arrangements and ticketing prices that can apply to both bus and train travel.
