School transport is vulnerable to noncompliance issues. We understand this, and we understand the compliance systems they use need to be user friendly, yet effective and efficient.

Make sure your minibus operations are compliant… before you get in trouble!

 

Transport that doesn't meet the DVSA's requirements puts your school at risk of:

 

• Legal repercussions if someone is injured, or worse, in a road traffic incident. The people responsible for the non complinace will be held legally liable.
• Without minibuses your organisation will struggle to function! Losing permission to operate your vehicles is a real consequence of non-compliance; the DVSA have the power to stop you operating minibuses.
• Drivers getting points on their licence.
• Roadside fines, that the driver must pay, before they can move off!
• Huge reputational damage; imagine prospective customers googling your organisation, and your negligence being the first thing they see.

 

 

Did you know that the DVSA publishes Notices and Proceedings on a fortnightly basis?

 

This document includes a public and searchable list of all the PSV and HGV operators who have come to the DVSA attention because they have problems with their transport operations. Do not get on that list!

 

In our last six months of auditing, we found around 75% of organisations we audited were not 100% compliant! If you work with us, we will protect your ability to operate your minibuses by:

 

• Building you a compliant maintenance programme, so all the correct inspections, tests and maintenance are scheduled for the right time, and the appointments booked for you with your various maintenance providers.

• All the documentation for the above will be stored in the cloud, ready for a DVSA inspection

Become Compliant

Daily Defect Check Training Programme

All minibus drivers are required to perform a daily walk around check. The driver is always responsible for performing the check properly and the school has a responsibility to ensure the driver is trained how to do the check. Our Training programme is the industry standard course for school minibus drivers. 

 

By training your drivers properly you will:

 

 

• Protect the organisation and its management from negligence claims based on the fact they didn’t adequately train their drivers.
• Empower you drivers to look after your vehicles, and by extension your passengers, properly.
• Raise the standard of your transport operations.

Train your drivers!
