Appealing a home to school transport decision to the Local Government Ombudsman

When to appeal to the Local Government Ombudsman

There is a right of complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman. This only applies if you consider that there was a failure to comply with the procedural rules or if there are any other irregularities in the way the appeal has been handled.

If you consider the decision of the independent panel to be flawed on public law grounds, you may also apply for a judicial review.
