SEN Student Behaviour Report Form

It is important that behaviour of SEN passengers on transport is managed appropriately, as incidents can distract the driver,and cause distress or injury to other passengers and road users. Transport Operators are expected to initially discuss any problems with the school and parents/guardians, as distraction techniques and recommendations for a particular passenger can often improve the situation.

Transport Operators must use this form to reportsevere and persistent SEN student behaviour problems to the Passenger Transport Coordination Centre. Any information provided may be discussed with the school, Parents/Guardians and the Education Transport & Awards Team to establish if it is necessary to adapt the transport provision.
