The council is not required by law to provide free transport to all SEND children.
Free transport is provided for SEND children that have been assessed as eligible and meet the required criteria set out in statutory guidance and Home to School Transport policy.

The statutory guidance states that parents who receive the higher rate mobility component for their child may choose to use it to lease a Motability vehicle, but there is no requirement for them to do so.
Being eligible for Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or having access to a Motability vehicle is not relevant to a disabled child’s eligibility for free travel to school (except as evidence of their disability).
