🚖Have your say on the future of BCP Home to School Travel Support🚍

You may be aware that yesterday BCP Council launched a consultation to review Home to School Travel Support in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Parents whose children already receives Home to School Travel Assistance, were sent an email asking for their experiences and views of the service.

BCP Council are reviewing their policies to make sure they are clear, easy to understand and help provide the right travel support for children and young people. They are also seeking views on the potential impact of any increase to post-16 travel contributions.

The aim is to make sure travel support continues to help children and young people access education in a way that supports learning, wellbeing, confidence and independence and are seeking your views.

There are two draft policies:
📝Home to School Travel and Transport Policy for Children of Compulsory School Age
📝Home to School Travel Policy Statement for Post-16 Learners

There is also a Children and Young People's Survey, giving children and young people the opportunity to share their views and experiences of travelling to school or college.

It is important to note that:
❗No decisions have been made
❗Eligibility criteria for travel assistance are not proposed to change
❗Support will continue to be based on individual needs and circumstances
❗Specialist transport will remain available where required

For many families, there may be little or no change to existing travel arrangements.
However, the Council want to understand what matters most to families before any recommendations are made.

You can take part by:
👉Completing the survey online
👉Attending one of the drop-in sessions
👉Joining an online information session
👉Requesting a paper survey if needed

The drop-in sessions will all be held between 2-5pm on the following dates:
📆23rd September at Bournemouth Library, The Triangle, BH2 5RQ
📆24th September at Northmead House, Poole BH17 7RP
📆25th September at Christchurch Library, Druitt Building, High Street, BH23 1AW

Following the consultation, all responses received will be reviewed and the Council will publish a summary of the feedback received, along with the council's response and any proposed changes to the policies. A report will be presented with the final policies to Cabinet for a decision on 16th December 2026.
