Bursars & Administrators
Bursars and administrators will gain insights into necessary maintenance planning, budgeting, and compliance with transportation regulations.
They will learn about the importance of evidencing checks, maintaining records, and the duration for keeping this information. Their role in ensuring the fiscal and legal responsibility of the school’s transportation system is crucial.
Facility Managers
Facilities Managers will understand the bigger picture of all the elements required to run a legal minibus operation, and will learn how other staff involved with the minibus can help with management and maintenance – as well as taking steps to reduce common accidents.
Drivers
Drivers can be reassured they’re driving with the right licences.
They will understand that they must take some responsibility for the maintenance of the vehicle, and for completing regular checks to make their trips more enjoyable and to protect themselves from fines and points if there are issues with the minibus.
Heads & Governors
Heads and Governors will be able to make better-informed decisions on buying/leasing vehicles, and who can drive them. They will also be empowered to make decisions on further driving training where it’s needed.
