Update: Position Statement from Bromley Parent Voice regarding Bromley SEN Transport provision

UPDATE: 

If any parents have questions relating to the recent request for the completion of new application forms for transport assistance, please contact sentransport@bromley.gov.uk or call on 0208 461 7526 and they will be happy to answer them.

This week we have been made aware that a letter and application form for SEN transport provision, has been sent to families to complete. We are aware that this has caused great anxiety for families.

Bromley Parent Voice are working with the local authority to review the application processes however, this letter was sent without our knowledge or input.

We have spoken with senior officers within the local authority to make them aware of parents concerns.

BPV have been asked to refer any parent queries regarding this letter & application form to the SEN transport team.

We have had reassurances from the local authority officers that this request is for updating records & contact details of all families prior to commissioning of transport services for Sept 2015.

We understand the revised sen transport policy and the results of the consultation will be presented to council members at the Education PDS committee in June.

BPV will endeavour to work with the SEN transport team to ensure parents voices are heard.
