Aims and objectives

This Post-16 transport policy statement describes the support available to young people of Leicester entering or continuing with full-time Post-16 Education.

It gives information from the local authority, schools, academies, and further education colleges and other relevant sources.

The aim is to provide the most up to date details of the support available from various sources to encourage participation and prevent travel being a barrier to young learners.     

This statement gives advice on the types of support available to learners with learning/mobility difficulties and explains the commitment to encourage independent travel to and from the place of learning.

The provision of transport assistance to Post-16 students will support those students wishing to continue in education as part of the Raising Participation Age legislation.
