Behaviour on school and college transport

Expected levels of student behaviour are detailed on the back of any pass issued by us:

• you must behave responsibly on the transport at all times
• behaviour which could lead to the injury of another passenger, could distract the driver or cause an accident, may result in the withdrawal of transport
• a warning letter will be issued for any minor instances of misbehaviour or bullying.  This will be sent to the parents and copied to the school
• a temporary ban from transport can also be issued for repeated breaches of the behaviour policy.  This ban can last for up to 2 weeks
• for more serious incidents, such as violent behaviour that causes a threat to the operation of the vehicle or damage to the vehicle itself, a ban may be immediately put in place.  We will liaise with the school and the operator to determine what action will be taken
• we may consider reinstating transport after a Review Meeting between parents, school, the operator and ourselves. This may involve a phased reinstatement of transport
• if a student has been issued with a ban, it is the parent’s responsibility to transport the student to and from school for the duration of the ban.  We will not reimburse any additional costs incurred
