LA support in other circumstances
Travel assistance may be available under the Staffordshire Post 16 travel assistance scheme if there are special reasons why it should be necessary to attend and board at a learning establishment further away from home. For eligible students we will offer travel assistance between your home address and your accommodation general location on the same basis as to which the placement funding has been agreed (e.g. termly boarding, weekly boarding, 38 week placement) providing all other eligibility criteria are met.
Applying for LA travel support
Students must make a new application each year, even if they received travel assistance in the previous year, unless they have been advised otherwise by the County Council. You should submit all necessary supporting evidence you wish to be considered along with your application (including professional supporting evidence of any disability which prevents the student from accessing public transport applying for assistance under those grounds).
