11 Criteria for transport services PDF 138 KB
This report seeks approval for an Eligibility Policy which provides clear criteria for access to transport provision and promotes the adoption of alternatives, including the provision of independent travel training, which reflect the needs of the individual and help to promote greater independence.
Decision:
that approval be given to consult service users and their carers on the proposed adoption of the Eligibility Policy for access to council-funded transport for users of adult social care services. Under this Policy, eligibility will be determined by assessment of a service user’s access to existing transport, and an assessment of their mobility and ability to travel independently.
