SCHOOL TRANSPORT SAFETY

Unfortunately, despite school transport drivers and staff repeatedly asking pupils to wear seat belts on school buses, some pupils have ignored these requests and do not appear to understand the possibly consequences of not wearing seatbelts.

The code of conduct for pupils who use home to school transport clearly states that:

• Pupils are to stay in their seats once you are on the bus and ALWAYS use the seatbelt if one is provided.

We would draw your attention to the fact that the County Council has the right to withdraw transport assistance at any time if any points within the Code of Conduct are breached.

We would very much appreciate your support in ensuring that all pupils who use school transport understand how vital it is to wear a seatbelt for both their own safety and that of others.
