Updated Driving for Work and Operation of Minibuses Polices
Following a substantial review of the Driving for Work Policy, both this and the Minibus Policy have been updated.
The most significant change to the Driving Policy has been to include information regarding the requirements of NCC’s ‘Operators Licence’ which has implications for anyone driving for work if using vans, car derived vans or minibuses. We have also taken the opportunity to improve our management of occupational road risks. The updated policy includes a training matrix to clearly define different levels of training needed according to the driving activities.
The changes to the Minibus Policy also reflect the requirements of the ‘Operators Licence’ as well as being reshaped to provide greater clarity around the control measures that need to be established to manage minibus use including who is able to drive a minibus on NCC / School business.
Action Headteachers must ensure that they and their staff are familiar with and working to both of the updated policies.
