Monday 14 July 2025
If your disabled child or young person is getting ready to move into post-16 education or training, you may have questions about transport support from your local authority.
To help you get the information you need, we’re inviting families in England to send us their questions about post-16 school and college transport – and then get a personalised response from our expert helpline team.
This is for families in England only. Submissions will close once we reach 50 questions, so we recommend getting yours in early!
How it works:
Parent carers can submit a question using our short online form which asks for:
- Your name, email, and local authority
- The age of your child or young person (16–18, or 19–24)
- Whether they have an EHCP
- Your question about post-16 transport
Our team of expert helpline advisers will then carefully review each submission – and you’ll receive a personalised written response within a few days.
Submit your post 16 transport in England questions here.
Once we’ve answered the questions you’ve sent us we’ll share a round-up of key themes and advice tips on our social media and the Contact website.
If you miss out on asking your question, have a younger child or live in Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland, you can still contact our helpline for advice on 0808 808 3555, select option 1, or complete our Helpline online enquiry form.
