Your Freedom of Information Request

Many thanks for your Freedom of Information enquiry received by Essex County Council on 2 December 2009.

We are unable to answer this request as each student’s request is dealt with on an individual basis – we do not collate information on the specific need of the student and therefore cannot provide you with a breakdown of this information.

If the parents of the student who has been refused transport would like to contact Emma Toublic Head of SCF Strategic Transport and Awards, on 01245 431625, she would be happy to discuss their case with them directly. They will need to provide me with the student’s details and I would be unable to discuss the specific case with you directly.

You may reuse all or part of this information free of charge in any format or medium. You must reuse it accurately and not in a misleading context. The material must be acknowledged as Essex County Council copyright and you must give the title of the source document/publication. Please contact me if you would like further advice or assistance about your request or rights to access information held by Essex County Council.

If you are not satisfied with my response to your request, please let me know. If I am unable to resolve the issue immediately, I will explain our complaints procedure. If, after following our complaints procedure, you are still not satisfied, you are entitled to ask the Information Commissioner to review our decision. You can contact him at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. Telephone no: 01625 545700.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Last week I heard of yet another young person with Asperger

Syndrome - who had secured a place at college - and was all geared

up to go, being unable to take up the place because he was refused

transport.

I would like the break down of figures to include all SENS as a

comparision please.

Thank you,

Yours faithfully,

Pat Smith
