If travel assistance is declined, we will contact you giving our reasons. You can appeal the decision. Everyone has the right to appeal if they disagree with the initial decision or with the transport arrangements offered. The County Council operates a two-stage appeal process for transport cases.

• Stage 1 appeals will be considered by a panel of senior officers from across the County Council.
• Stage 2 appeals are considered by The Discretionary Transport Appeal Panel. This is made up of 3 Councillors with experience in special educational needs and disability (SEND) transport.
