Or they live within the distances above but can’t reasonably be expected to walk to school because of their special educational needs, disability or mobility problem

Assistance is also available to those under 5 attending Nurseries, and those over 16 who are attending a College.Please see the Shropshire SEND Local Offer website for full details.Apply via https://next.shropshire.gov.uk/the-send-local-offer/travel-and-transport/apply/
