Yes, the provision of a PTB will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure your child remains eligible and that the PTB is the most efficient way of providing transport assistance.
The council is keen to encourage children to travel as independently as possible, so, for example, if your child undertakes Independent Travel Training and is able to travel to school or college more independently, we will work with you to move away from a PTB to supporting your child to travel to school or college more independently.
We carry out half termly attendance checks and your payments could potentially be reduced if journeys have been paid for in a previous payment that were not carried out.
We also deduct the Post-16 contribution charge from your payments.
As part of your PTB agreement, if you move house or your child changes school or college you must inform the council’s Education Transport Officer via email or phone:
