The consultation closed on Saturday 7 March 2026. Thanks to everyone that took part in the consultation, we're now looking at the responses. 

Overview:  

We invited parents, carers, young people with SEND, professionals, and partner organisations to share their views on Salford’s proposed changes to our Post-16 School Transport Policy. This draft policy set out changes to our transport offer for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) ages 16 to 25.  

What the consultation was about:  

  • Providing information around the different, flexible transport options available to families
  • Helping young people to access opportunities for independence
  • Engaging with as many affected groups as possible to gather feedback

Check our current Post-16 Transport Policy: 

We know that any proposed changes to home to school transport support can be worrying. We wrote to people whose child/children currently used local authority arranged transport arrangements to make them aware of the consultation.

We offered face-to-face and online drop-in sessions.

Please note, any proposed changes will not affect those who are already in Post-16 education, Year 12 and above.

The deadline to give us your feedback was Saturday 7 March 2026.
