There is a setting named in my child’s EHCP and the Local Authority are saying they will not fund transport, can they do this?
The local authority can only refuse to fund transport if the school named on the EHCP is not the nearest, suitable school for that child. For example, the parent has chosen a school that is further away as they prefer that school to the closer school.
If you believe the school named is the nearest, suitable school for the child then the local authority has a duty to provide suitable transport.
