The Home to School Transport (HTST) Service is committed to working in co-producing all new policy and practice with Parent and Carers Council (PACC) and Amaze.
The Home to School Transport Service is committed to ensuring that the safety and wellbeing of children and young people is at the heart of all we do and is the top priority in improving and developing the service.
HTST and PACC acknowledge the finding of the Independent Local Government Association review report, published in March 2020, which says the service must:
Rebuild trust with schools and settings, parents/carers, voluntary and community sector, members and officers from other departments. The council should consider having a Special education needs and disability (SEND) charter and agreed co-production policy (which includes HTST), between parents/ carers and the council, setting out clear roles, responsibilities and expectations.
The new SEND Strategy sets out plans to develop a SEND charter which will cover a wider co-production policy.
As this will take some time, this working agreement covers co-production arrangements between HTST and PACC.
