The five-year-old currently has no way to and from school on Monday morning

A child from Belfast has been "left in limbo" as the Education Authority has suspended their school transport.

After calling the Education Authority and being assured the issue would be resolved for Wednesday, as the school was closed on Tuesday, he was taken home by a different driver and arrived home an hour late. "When I informed them of this and asked what they recommended I do as I don't drive and the price of a taxi would be extortionate, I was told to 'get a bus' Which means a bus into the city centre and then one upto the school or walking onto the Falls and getting a Glider then walking down the Blacks Road.

She said it's a wider issue affecting many children with special educational needs throughout Northern Ireland. In relation to this incident, a spokesperson for the Education Authority told Belfast Live: "We are disappointed that the experience on this occasion has not been to the standard we would expect, and we are continuing to work with the family to confirm arrangements.
