Family Voice Calderdale response to the Calderdale Council Post 16 Transport Policy 2022-2023 Consultation.

Posted on

In response to the Calderdale Council Post 16 Transport Policy 2022-2023 Consultation, Family Voice Calderdale undertook a consultation on behalf of the membership of Unique Ways in the form of a simple 5 question survey.

Family Voice Calderdale made a formal response on Friday 14th January 2022 and you can read the full response here: Family Voice Calderdale response to the Calderdale Council Post 16 Transport Policy 2022-2023 Consultation.

In summary, the proposed changes to the policy are not equitable and lack flexibility where situations are fluid.  Calderdale Council should be able to facilitate a universal free home to school transport offer for those children with disabilities or additional needs, especially at a time of rising living costs as these will disproportionately impact upon those most in need.

Family Voice Calderdale will keep our members informed of any updates we receive.
