Following a decision of the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman, it is proposed to amend the transport case review process that applies to Surrey’s mainstream and SEND home to school travel and transport policies to provide for parents to make verbal representation at stage two case reviews. It is also proposed for stage one case reviews to be considered by a senior officer. These amendments will bring Surrey’s policies in to line with the DfE’s statutory home to school travel and transport guidance.
