Local education authorities have a duty to provide or arrange free transport to and from school for some school children and discretion to provide it for others. Effective arrangements are essential to ensure that children with special educational needs can attend school. This report presents comparative information, across London Boroughs, on the quality and standards to which authorities work, the ways in which they manage and supervise arrangements, how they set and manage budgets, the numbers of pupils with special educational needs needing transport, how their needs are met and the costs of provision. Includes a self assessment checklist and draws attention to good practice, including findings from best value inspections, and other inspections.
