Home to School Transport Policy for children aged 5 to 16

The safety of those travelling on Council contracted transport provision is of paramount concern. Wirral Council reserves the right to refuse to provide transport on a contract vehicle where a pupil’s behaviour is such that it is unacceptable to the operator, the passenger assistant or other passengers.

If a student is suspended temporarily from transport parents and carers will become responsible for transporting their own children to school for the duration of the suspension. Where there are persistent cases of misbehaviour and assurances of good behaviour cannot be obtained or are not fulfilled a travel pass or mileage expenses may be offered.
