Safeguarding Excellence & Modern Compliance
Safety is our absolute priority when transporting students. We go beyond the industry minimums to ensure total peace of mind for staff and parents alike:
- Fully Vetted Staff: Every driver assigned to school transport is DBS-cleared (Enhanced Disclosure) and highly trained in safeguarding protocols.
- Safety-First Fleet: Our vehicles are equipped with all-age three-point seatbelts, first-aid kits, and are subject to rigorous six-weekly safety inspections.
- ULEZ & Environmental Compliance: We help schools meet their green targets with a modern, Euro 6 compliant fleet that can travel throughout Greater London without additional environmental charges.
- Punctual Logistics: We utilise real-time traffic monitoring to navigate Hemel’s morning congestion, ensuring students arrive for lessons and return home on schedule.
