Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) children are amongst the most vulnerable in society, and their families are often living difficult lives. Transport to-and-from school provides some much needed social interaction for the children and a few hours respite for the parents. However, rising SEND entitlement and a shortage of both drivers and passenger assistants are driving up costs. There is evidence that other budgets, such as that for school improvements, are suffering as a result.
