Executive Board REPORT NO: HHPPE/51/14 DATE
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9 REPORT TO: Executive Board REPORT NO: HHPPE/51/14 DATE: 10 June 2014 LEAD MEMBER: Councillor Michael Williams (Children’s Services and Education) Lead Member (Environment) CONTACT OFFICER: Darren Williams (Tel: 729629) SUBJECT: Post 16 Education Transport Policy WARD: All 1. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT To seek Elected Members’ approval to carry out a consultation exercise regarding revisions to the Council’s policy for travel arrangements for learners in Post-16 education or training. 2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1 This report outlines the current situation with regards to Post-16 education transport and the implications of our current policy. 2.2 Post-16 education transport is discretionary as there is no statutory requirement for local Councils to provide or organise this. However, the Learner Travel Wales measure obliges Authorities to assess the travel needs of those up to the age of 19. Historically, too many young people in Wrexham have left education at age 16 and not progressed to further education, employment or training. The Council has worked very hard with partner agencies to reduce the number of young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) over recent years with some considerable success, as recognised nationally by Estyn and Welsh Government. Care must be taken to ensure that changes to the transport arrangements for Post-16 learners does not have a detrimental effect on this situation. 2.3 Wrexham County Borough Council currently spends £370,764 annually on transport for Post-16 learners. This includes transport to Coleg Cambria Yale Campus, which the Council traditionally has supported, as well as transport to a range of other institutions outside of the County, including Coleg Cambria Deeside Campus and their Llysfasi campus near Ruthin. -
