Petition Action

Free bus passes to College/school etc for children in further education

Additional Information

From September 2014, all pupils will be required to remain at school, college or on-the-job training until they turn 17. It is the first step in a move towards raising the education leaving age to 18 by 2015.

What is not widely known, is that once a child is over 16 – and starting in further education – they are no longer entitled to a free bus pass to school/college, despite the fact that such attendance is compulsory.

This is a petition for the free bus pass scheme to be extended to those children in compulsory further education schemes, to cover transport to their school/college etc.
