I am aware of the pupil to whom the Deputy refers.
The school in question had great difficulty finding a suitable person to act as an escort on the transport service on which this pupil travels. However, I understand that the school authorities are now in receipt of a number of applications for this position and are in the process of selecting a suitable escort for this transport service.
