I have had no conversations with the commissioner on that particular subject. The organisation code does require local authorities to carry out an impact assessment with regard to the well-being of learners. It also does give indicative timings of what would be regarded as a length of travel time that would not be suitable for children, but it really is for the individual local authority to ensure that, in carrying out its consultation with local people, it does that in line with the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 and the code.
