With a few days to go before the consultations close, people are urged to give their views about how adult education is delivered and our plans to update school travel policies.
Both consultations run until midnight on Sunday 22 February 2026.
People are encouraged to have their say on:
Options for the future delivery of Derbyshire Adult Community Education Service
The options being considered aim to ensure the service is fit for the future and has the greatest impact on the lives of people who need the most support.
Changes to the way the service is funded provides an opportunity to look at how it could be more flexible and responsive, supporting even more people to gain qualifications to help them achieve.

Proposals to change home to school transport policies
People are asked their views on proposals to change travel policies for eligible school children aged 5 to 16, Post 16 learners, and students with special educational needs and disabilities.
It follows updated legal guidance from the government providing greater clarity on the role councils play in helping to transport children to school, giving an opportunity to consider updating current policies.

Cabinet Member for SEND and Education Councillor Simon Mabbott said:
“I’d encourage as many people as possible to give us their views to help us shape these services for the future.
“No decisions will be made until we’ve had chance to hear and take into consideration what people think so this is your chance to make your opinion count.”
