This form is for a child or young person with special educational needs and/or disability/temporary medical condition.
Fair processing notice
The Local Authority (LA) uses information about children for whom it provides services to enable it to carry out specific functions for which it is responsible, such as the assessment of any special educational needs the child may have or how to best provide transport services to a young person.
The LA also sometimes shares some or all a young person’s personal information with those that are planning how to improve services. The LA also uses the information to derive statistics to inform decisions on (for example) the funding of schools, and to assess the performance of schools and set targets for them. The statistics are used in such a way that individual children cannot be identified from them.
Guidance for completion
This form must be completed by parents/carers or a young person who wish to apply for travel support to and from school for child or young person with Special Educational Needs and/or disability or a temporary medical condition.
