About

The Appeals Panel meets to determine any appeal or application which is at any time to be determined by a Council Committee, but not specifically delegated or referred to any other Committee, primarily:-  

1.     Appeals relating to the allocation of free school transport for children under the age of 16. Appeal Members have discretionary powers and can award a bus pass for free home to school travel, but only where exceptional circumstances are clearly demonstrated.  

2.     Appeals concerning travel assistance for young people aged 16 and over who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).  Appeal Members will review the original decision taken to either, provide physical transport or award a Personal Travel Budget (PTB), look at whether the procedure had been correctly followed,  and determine whether there are any exceptional circumstances that had not already considered.
