About SEND Home to School Transport
Home to school transport in the London Borough of Richmond and Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (the Councils) is delivered by Achieving for Children (AfC).
The Councils and AfC are committed to meeting the educational needs of as many children and young people as possible within local schools. In most cases, this will mean that children and young people can walk or cycle to school with their parents or carers. The Achieving for Children Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Home to School Transport Policy sets out how we will help the small number of children and young people who find it difficult to travel to school without some assistance. This includes the policy for pre and post 16 SEND Transport.
