My Department allocates funding to schools for the employment of escorts on school transport services. These escorts are specifically engaged to cater for children with special educational needs whose care requirements are such as to necessitate continuous support.

As the school in question is not currently employing escorts, my Department is working towards the provision of a suitable school transport service for the pupil referred to by the Deputy, in the details supplied.
