Driver checks and supporting information
Speak to the team about checks or training relevant to the proposed booking and the evidence your school needs before confirming transport.
Safety and safeguarding
Safety & Safeguarding for School Transport
Your school needs clear information about the transport it arranges. Speak to the Liberty team about the checks, documents and practical arrangements relevant to your journey before confirming a booking.
Before booking
Discuss the information your school needs
The right questions depend on the journey, vehicle, school site and pupils travelling. Use the enquiry stage to explain what your school needs to know before confirming arrangements.
Vehicle suitability
Discuss group size, accompanying adults, luggage, equipment, access at the school or destination and any vehicle needs before selection.
Journey planning and school contacts
Agree collection points, arrival and departure times, the authorised school contact and any supervision or handover details required for the journey.
Accessibility and additional assistance
Share broad requirements at enquiry stage, then agree an appropriate way to provide any necessary sensitive details later.
Records
Information for your school records
Ask which documents or check details your school requires for its transport records. The Liberty team can then discuss the relevant information available for the proposed booking.
Avoid sending pupil names, diagnoses or confidential information through the public enquiry form. If sensitive details become necessary, agree the appropriate way to share them with the team.
Questions before you travel?
If your school has a checklist for transport arrangements, safeguarding information or vehicle suitability, raise it before the booking is confirmed.
Plan the practical details early
Collection location, stopping space, arrival deadlines, accompanying adults, luggage and school contact details can all affect how the journey should be arranged.
Share these details at enquiry stage so they can be considered before a vehicle is confirmed.
