Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to detail his Department’s current policy on home to school transport; and whether he has plans to review the policy.

Answer:

The current home to school transport policy is detailed in my Department’s circular number 1996/41 and a copy of this circular can be found on my Department’s website (https://www.deni.gov.uk/publications/circular-199641-home-school-transport).

An independent review of this policy has been completed however it will be for the next Minister for Education to consider if it is appropriate to revise the current policy in light of this review.
