Some children can qualify for a free travel pass to help them get to school.

This can depend on:

• The age of the child
• Distance to travel to school
• Evidence of low income
• Availability of a safe walking route

• The child’s special needs or disabilities

Transport for young people with a special educational need or disability

There is an assessment process for young people with Special Educational Needs or a Disability (SEND). Not every young person with SEND requires home-to-school transport in a vehicle. Parents may transport their own child to school;  some young people are able to access public transport.

Parents or carers of students with SEND who want to apply for specialised free transport assistance will need to complete and submit a travel assistance request form. Visit the Free Travel to School page on the Wirral Council website

Who is this aimed at?

To find out if your child is eligible read the Home to School Transport Travel Policy for children aged 5 to 16 years. Visit the Free Travel to School page on the Wirral Council website
