Post 16 transport referrals - Information required
I am writing to confirm Children's Services new procedures for referring students to be assessed for bespoke post-16 transport provision and to request information from you.
Norfolk County Council offers the TITAN Buddy Service to all students who may have difficulties traveling to and from their post 16 education establishment without support. For more information on this service please refer to the attached information leaflet.
As part of our new referrals process I am contacting all educational establishments within Norfolk that have current students due to leave at the end of 2015/16 who may require support traveling to their post 16 establishment.
The first stage of the referrals process is for your establishment to provide us with details of any school leavers or post 16 returners that may require support with post 16 transport. I have attached a template of the information we require. The form is not necessary to submit the information to us, but if you would like to use it then please feel free to.
It is vital we receive this information in a timely manner so we are able to recruit sufficient staff and ensure the correct referrals are received. Delays at this stage could lead to delays in the students transport at the start of their new course. Due to this we are asking that this summary information is sent to us by Friday 26th February.
Please forward to us details of all students who may require our support. Details must contain the Students Name, Address, Expected FE Establishment, Current Transport, Recommended outcome (i.e. will require a taxi/ should be independent with travel training etc.), Does the student have an EHCP Co. or not? to TITAN@norfolk.gov.uk or to Adam Curtis, Floor 8, County Hall, Martineau Lane, Norwich, NR1 2DH by 26/02
If you need any advice or support on this then please contact me or my team. Furthermore if you would like to find out how the TITAN programme can support your students with in-school/ college independence travel training then please also get in touch.
