Our Approach

We understand that the needs of the travelling students are individual and special and each and every one of the students’ needs are continually assessed.

For each school to which we transport we appoint a dedicated contract manager and the directors of the company hold in-depth talks with the school whenever necessary to ensure that the clients needs and the needs of the school are addressed.

Consistent Environment

Drivers and escorts are allocated a route on a permanent basis and meet with students and parents/carers prior to the start of the term they can then get to know the client and work with the parents and the school to resolve any potential issues.
This helps with a smooth transition. At the same time we ensure that our staff are comfortable with the time schedule, and that any client issues and staff training needs are catered for.

Customer Care

We ensure that all of our staff are aware of the need for first class customer service and diplomacy. They are aware of the need for tolerance and aware of the pitfalls of advising or engaging with the students.
As a company we are very aware of the safeguarding issues of young children and take our responsibilities there very seriously. Click here to see our child protection and other policies.

Consistent Care

Sometimes for unavoidable operational reasons it is necessary to have a relief driver. All relief drivers and escorts are introduced to the students via the regular escort on school grounds.
Parents/carers are informed prior to any change in staff whether permanent or temporary allowing them time to prepare the student for the change.

Communication

Daily communication will be with your driver and passenger assistant if one is assigned, you contact your local office via telephone or email.

Code of Practice

A code of practice in case of student illness whilst travelling forms a part of our safeguarding policy. In case of serious illness an ambulance will be called, the parent, School and the Passenger Transport will be informed.
Sometimes student numbers and pick up points will alter. In that case the routes are rescheduled to ensure that the on vehicle time is kept to a minimum.

Training

Our drivers receive training over and above legal requirements.
This includes training in defensive driving techniques, sign language courses for all staff involved with students who have speech difficulties and awareness courses for autism, ADHD, aspergers and epilepsy training.
