Parents of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are "deeply worried" over the halting of transport for older pupils.

Leicester City Council is scrapping financial support and transport for pupils aged 16 to 19, with a school placement over three miles from their home.

It said: "After considerable consultation, we gave parents more than two years notice of our intention to end this funding."

Ruth Northey, a single mother from Clarendon Park, found what seemed like the perfect school in Derby for her 15-year-old daughter who has autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and dyscalculia - a learning difficulty in understanding numbers.

Now faces having to quit her job to take her daughter to and from school each day, "If we can't get transport, I don't know what we will do."

Ady Dayman spoke to her and started off by asking her about her daughters school.
