School transport for students aged 11- 16 years with EHCPs - Find a freedom of information request

Request

1. Would like to know the percentage of applications for school transport for students aged 11- 16 years with EHCPs that are rejected immediately after completion of the online form.

2. Would like to know the percentage of these that are appealed and the percentage of appeals that are successful.

Decision

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.

1. The process used in checking eligibility does not allow us to source this information in this detail. Applications are either approved or rejected after original submission and then more information can be added at a pre appeal stage. We do not record whether an EHCP was in place or not at this stage.

2. Lincolnshire County Council does not hold this information.
