Sutton Parents Forum

The London Borough of Sutton commissions Cognus to provide travel assistance to eligible families, to support pupils getting to and from school. The service and Travel policy are to be reviewed to ensure  that it makes the best use of the resources available, continues to provide the right support for children and young people and can meet growing demand during the difficult financial challenges facing residents (as well as the Council).

The event will be facilitated by us, Sutton Parent Carers Forum Steering Group (SPCF) and will be an early opportunity for Cognus and the Council to share information about the challenges, and potential opportunities, of adapting the Travel policy, as well as to hear from families about their experiences of the service and any ideas they have for the review. This is not a formal consultation nor will they be putting forward any formal proposals at this stage. They recognise any changes in the future may have an impact on families, so want to talk to families early in the process. The full letter can be downloaded here and includes more information

The session will last for approximately an hour and then individual 'surgeries' are available with Travel staff but these must be booked with us, in advance
