How to apply

All requests for travel assistance for children without an EHCP must be made online via the Citizen Portal 

For children and young people with an EHCP families can contact the Travel Assistance Team on education.transport@slough.gov.uk

The Council will look to complete the assessment of applications in a timely fashion, aiming to put in place travel arrangements for those entitled at the earliest opportunity. However, it may take up to 6 weeks to process and families should be prepared to make their own interim travel arrangements if necessary.

During periods of high demand, such as the build-up to the new academic year, timescales for processing applications may be extended. Families are advised to apply for assistance with travel at the earliest opportunity to ensure arrangements are in place when they are required.
