SENTAS (Special Educational Needs Transport Advocacy Service)

Local Authorities have a duty to provide eligible children and young people with free home to school/college transport. Currently Local Authorities are being asked to reduce their budgets and they are looking for a variety of cost savings. One area Local Authorities seem to be focusing their attention on is the home to school/college transport budget. This is leading to some children and young people with physical and learning disabilities being refused the funded transport that they are entitled to.

Sentas have in-depth knowledge on the Government guidance surrounding SEND home to school/college transport. Sentas is a free service that supports both parents of children and young people themselves, who have physical or learning disabilities with the process of appealing incorrect Local Authorities decisions refusing to provide funded transport.
