Home to school transport has become an increasing pressure on council budgets as a combination of increases in demand from pupils with special educational needs and a lack of supply push up costs.

In this episode of The Local Authority, LGC in association with Qroutes, would like to explore how councils can reduce costs whilst ensuring children receive the education they need. What is the role of schools? How can parental expectations be managed? Should services be means tested?

LGC editor Sarah Calkin is joined by:

Roger Gough, leader of Kent CC and children’s services spokesperson for the County Councils Network
Rachael Shimmin, chief executive of Buckinghamshire Council
Liz Davidson, chief marketing officer for Qroutes

Support for this episode comes from QRoutes. QRoutes creates routing optimisation software that helps local authorities address their special educational needs transport challenges. Their technology helps school transport planners deliver tailored and empathetic services that cut carbon and cost less.
