A guide for parents

This guide explains the legal obligations on local authorities to provide free school transport for disabled children in Wales. We aim to help parents and carers understand their legal rights, but you should not rely on this guide as legal advice. The law relating to school transport can be complicated and you may need to take independent legal advice to find out how the law applies to your particular circumstances.
