As a parent or guardian of a child going into an SEN school, what am I responsible for?
Your child needs to be ready to go to school approximately 10 minutes before the time agreed with the transport provider. If your child is not ready on time, or refuses to go to school, the transport provider will wait for 5 minutes only before carrying on with their journey. The transport provider will report the problem to the ITU and the ITU will write out to you about the issue. If the problem persists a more formal approach will be taken, such as the involvement of Education Welfare Officers. You, or a responsible adult, are required to be at home during the agreed pick up and drop off times. Should parents / guardians not be at home, transport providers are advised that learners are to be taken to a place of safety, for example, the nearest police station or social services office. If your child will not be attending school, because of illness or other reasons, then you need to contact your transport provider to inform them as soon as possible. This will avoid any unnecessary jou
