Faith N

I’ve just been told that come September my son may no longer get his SEN taxis and that frightens me. The schools he has applied for are so far away. It’s terrible that these decisions are built on the fact he is too academically capable for a SEN unit but yet they fail to acknowledge he is socially and emotionally immature. It’s so sad. I don’t know how I will afford to get him to school as he also won’t be eligible for a bus pass. In NI it’s not means tested but miles tested and my poor daughter now 16 falls 0.2 miles out of that bracket and never got bus passes. That’s over £44 a month on bus passes I pay just so she gets to school.
