it might help someone but if your child is 5 or more you can apply for the free travel bus card that is generally for over 60's as long as they fit the critiria like learning disability or adhd, autism spectrum or a disability plus other medical reasons this might help for hospital visits for appointments this can be used anywhere in the uk plus if the child is over 11 they can have the companion card this means a companion can travel for free in your local area or reduced fare (both on the same card, no seperate card) this will be on your local councils website hope it helps someone
