Peterborough County Council have a duty to provide transport for children under its care where appropriate.
Wherever possible, children and young people who live close to their school should travel in the same way as their peers by:
- Being walked to school by their carer; or
- Walking or cycling alone if they are of an appropriate age and can do so safely
- Being driven by their carer and dropped off
Children and young people who live further away from their school should also, where possible, travel in the same way as their peers:
- Using public or school transport services
- Being driven there by their carers
Independent travel should be promoted and encouraged as soon as practicable for the individual
