Single-occupancy school transport

For children who need to travel on their own, with a dedicated driver and passenger assistant every day.

When a child travels alone

Some children with SEND find shared journeys too overwhelming, need extra support or medical care on the way, or have needs that make sharing unsafe. A single-occupancy journey gives them a calm space, the same people every day, and a journey built entirely around them.

What's included

  • A vehicle for one child, including wheelchair-accessible options
  • A fixed driver and a trained passenger assistant
  • The child's pupil passport followed on every journey
  • A meeting with the family before the first journey
  • Text alerts at pick-up and handover
