Route assessment
|
Some Authorities are now reviewing the foundation on which the provision of School Transport has been decided. This review of existing transport provision is being undertaken for many reasons the prime being (i) cost (ii) safety (iii) passenger dignity (iv) risk On the generic level some are asking why transport is not viewed as a whole that covers all journeys with the only criteria being space, safety and dignity when applied to the conveying vehicle. Not the absurd prospect of allocating a wheelchair user to the upstairs of a double-decker but to mixing mainstream pupils with special needs pupils wherever the circumstances are appropriate and whenever the benefits can be properly identified. The benefits of greater understanding and confidence amongst the users may well be matched with a cost and risk reduction amongst the providers, a more relaxed and caring environment amongst the users and We are able to offer an integrated multi skilled team delivering an in-depth professional independent assessment of your transport teams procedures and policies followed by route and passenger assessments - especially for ESN MLD passengers - with the objective of defining their suitability for eventual independent means travel. It is a given that any such changes can obviously only be undertaken
with the permission and understanding of the involved parties but
before that understanding can be achieved a professional and in depth
evaluation has to be undertaken. We are able to provide that professional
evaluation and give you the certainty that any provision of transport
has been mad in the most efficient, effective and safe manner.
