Learner travel operational guidance 2025
This consultation seeks views on the draft second edition of the Learner Travel Operational Guidance. The draft guidance 2025 makes changes to the first edition of the guidance which was published in 2014. The majority of these amendments reflect changes to legislation and policy that have taken place since the guidance came into force or clarify requirements relating to legislation that was in place at that time. The main aims in revising this guidance are to ensure the guidance:
– aligns with and amplifies legislative developments that have taken place since the guidance was originally published in 2014
– provide clarity on transport provision for learners with additional learning needs
– strengthen guidance on Section 10 (promoting access to Welsh medium education) and Section 11 (promoting sustainable travel) of the Learner Travel (Wales) Measure
– reflect some of the good practice that has been identified across Wales to encourage collaboration and partnership working between delivery partners.
