Transport to education and training for people aged 16 to 18

This statutory guidance is for local authorities.

It applies to all post-16 students or trainees attending:

• a school
• a further education institution
• an authority maintained or assisted institution providing higher or further education
• an establishment funded directly by the Education Funding Agency
• a learning provider that is funded by the local authority to deliver accredited programmes of learning (including colleges, charities and private learning providers)
• a place of work or apprenticeship

Statutory guidance sets out what schools and local authorities must do to comply with the law. You should follow the guidance unless you have a very good reason not to.
