Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED: Cabinet approved the new home to school travel policy for Hackney to take effect in the autumn term 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 consultation was on an updated home to school policy for Hackney 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.
