FOI Req: Policy on Assistance for Travel to School

Request 101003831208

I would be grateful if you could send me details of Moray Council's policy regarding assistance with travel to school for children who are co-parented (whose parents do not live together) and who start for school from two homes.

Please include any Equality Impact Assessments that have been incorporated into policy or any recent review of policy to ensure compliance with the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act.

Pupils are entitled to transport from two addresses where there is a co-parenting arrangement in place; both addresses have to be held on SEMIS as home addresses. They still have to meet the usual entitlement criteria - eg.  the home address has to be within catchment for the school attended. More details regarding application and criteria included in the link below:
