Contact’s Petition to Close the School Transport Loophole
Contact are asking for parents/carers to sign an online petition, to call on the government to close the loophole for disabled youngsters.
Unfortunately more and more disabled youngsters are being refused school transport or being charged for it, as councils exploit a loophole in the law. How can it be fair that the law says a young person is expected to be in school or training until 18 but does not have the transport to get there once they turn 16?
