RESOLVED:
 
It is recommended that Cabinet approve a
consultation on a new home to school travel policy for Hackney
during the spring term of 2024.
 
REASONS FOR DECISION
 
Local authorities must publish their home to school policy
for children of compulsory school age on their website and in paper
form. Local authorities should keep their school travel policy
under regular review to make sure it continues to meet local needs
and that it complies with statutory requirements.
 
The proposed consultation is on an updated home to school
policy that takes account of recently published statutory guidance
on travel for children of compulsory school age (5-16 years). It
also reflects current guidance on travel support for young people
aged over 16 years.
