Expected levels of student behaviour on school and college transport.
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鈥檚 responsibility to transport the student to and from school for the duration of the ban
- we will not reimburse any additional costs incurred
