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
