Legal background
Part 2: Support for participation in education or training: young adults with learning difficulties and young people in England
Section 84: Exercise of travel functions by local education authorities in England: duty to have regard to religion or belief of persons of sixth form age
93.Section 84 deals with the duties placed upon a local education authority with regards to the religion or belief of young people of sixth form age. Where local education authorities already have regard, in exercising their functions in relation to transport, to a parent’s wishes where these are based on religion or belief, this section has the effect of ensuring that the local education authority must also consider the wishes of a young person of sixth form age where these are based on religion or belief.
