Answer

The current home to school transport policy is detailed in my Department’s circular number 1996/41 and a copy of this circular can be found on my Department’s website (https://www.deni.gov.uk/publications/circular-199641-home-school-transport).

An independent review of this policy has been completed however it will be for the next Minister for Education to consider if it is appropriate to revise the current policy in light of this review.
