NAFWC 07/2005 Guidance on transport policy statements for Learners aged 16-19 2005/06

21/03/2005

This guidance sets out:

• the requirement for LEAs to take account of the needs of those who access post-16 education or training;
• the role of LEAs in the production and publication of transport statements;
• the manner and timing of publication;
• the role of CCETs and partners in the production of transport statements;
• the duty of school and college governing bodies to co-operate with LEAs and provide them with such information as they might reasonably require; and
• the content of the transport statement.

LEAs have a responsibility to ensure that:

• the policy statement is compliant with legislation; and
• the policy statement is set out clearly, is user friendly, and avoids unnecessary ‘official language’.
