Apply for help with school or college transport

What is this form for?

You can use this form to apply for help with getting to and from home and school or college, including:

• Taxi or mini bus travel
• Independent travel training

To apply for a Personal Transport Budget or a bus pass for public transport, see Help with school and college transport.

When is it appropriate to apply for support to get my child to school?

Applications are processed with a focus on developing the independence of the child. With this in mind, taxi and mini bus transport will only be considered in cases where all other forms of support are thought to be unsuitable. Please think carefully before requesting a taxi as there may be a more effective way we can support your family.

Before you start

To complete this form, you will need:

• an email address
• details of your child and their school
• name, address and contact number for at least two parents or carers
