The Welsh government is asking for your feedback on a new draft version of its Learner Travel Operational Guidance – a document that helps explain how local authorities should provide transport to learners.

The original guidance was published in 2014, and a lot has changed since then. The 2025 draft version that the Welsh government is consulting on includes:

  • Updates to reflect new laws and policies introduced since 2014
  • Clarifications about existing legal requirements including transport for students with additional learning needs and who need extra support.

Find out more about this consultation and how to submit your views.

Closing date for submissions is 3 September.
