Clients using the service may be vulnerable and may suffer from learning disabilities, behavioural problems, have sensory or hearing difficulties, an autistic spectrum disorder or another physical disability. Therefore, some journeys will require that an Escort be provided by the PRU to accompany them. The PRU is looking to a sole Supplier to provide transport to and from the PRU for Pupils and Escort (as appropriate) during the course of a normal academic year.
