Family traveling 60 miles a day due to issues with school transport

The family of a young boy with special needs are having to travel 60 miles a day to bring him to school due to issues with his transport.

P1 pupil Casey Lisle has non-verbal autism and other complex needs and has started at Brookfield Special School in Moira this year, however since the start of term he has been unable to get the correct transport to the school everyday.

He is meant to be provided with a taxi and care assistant to and from school every day, but so far this term it has never arrived for him, meaning his parents are having to take a 60 mile round trip everyday, while also taking their other children to school.
