When is Wiltshire Council unable to provide travel assistance?
Wiltshire Council provides assistance for journeys from home to school only, and are unable to provide assistance for journeys: • where you have expressed a preference for your child to attend an alternative school rather than the nearest appropriate school • to medical appointments i.e. dental or hospital • if your child is sick and or excluded from school and has to be collected from school part way through the day (or returned mid-week if attending a residential school) • to or from a location that is not your normal home address, e.g. a childminder’s or friend’s house • undertaken outside the usual start/finish times of the school day • when a child is placed in a 52 week placement • when the driver continues the journey without your child because he has waited more than three minutes at your house.
