East Riding of Yorkshire Council (24 022 850)
Statement Upheld School transport 29-Jun-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained about the Council’s decision to withdraw the home to school transport previously provided to her child, Y. We have ended our investigation in relation to the Council’s decision to withdraw Y’s home to school transport because the Council will consider this complaint through stage 2 of its complaints process first.

The Council will apologise, pay Mrs X a symbolic payment and investigate and respond to Mrs X’s school transport complaint in line with its complaints process.
