BRIS-182 Response Historic

Establish flexible Family Support Funds for travel costs at concentrated specialist children's trusts

Recommendation

Where specialist services for children are concentrated in a small number of trusts spread throughout England, these trusts should establish Family Support Funds to help families to meet the costs arising from travelling and staying away from home. The Funds should be administered flexibly and should not be limited to those on income support or with low incomes.
