Transport for children with additional support needs
Children may be entitled to free home to school transport because they have additional support needs. These needs may be short or long term. For example, a pupil with a broken leg may require transport on a short-term basis; a child whose family becomes homeless may require transport on a short-term basis until the family is rehoused. Children with physical or learning disabilities may need home to school transport for the whole of their school career.
The Travel and Transport Team manages home to school transport for children with additional support needs.
Contract hire vehicles including taxis and minibuses provide most, but not all, transport for children with additional support needs. Only drivers who have been checked through Disclosure Scotland are used.
Escorts
Some children who receive transport because they have additional support needs require the services of an Escort. Clackmannanshire Council maintains a bank of Relief Escorts, who provide cover in the event of absence of permanent staff. If you are interested in becoming a Relief Escort, or would like to learn more, please see the Relief Escort job details.
