Transport

Due to the recent changes in law regarding the transportation of children in minibuses and staff's own vehicles the following information may prove useful.

	Minibus information and training
	Safer Driving Policy Council Vehicles.pdf
	Safer Driving Policy Private Vehicles on Council Business.pdf
	Generic RISK ASSESSMENT for minibus usage

Extra: Please be aware that if you are driving a LWB minibus that the trailer rating may be only 400kg. This will be much less than some of the SWB versions. Please check that you are complying with the law.
