Smoking is not permitted on any Authority contracted vehicle. Lighters and matches are not to be brought onto vehicles.
Where seatbelts or lapbelts are fitted they must be worn.
Bullying is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Whilst travelling children will be subject to the Authority’s anti-bullying policy. Children who are discovered to be bullying others during journeys will have their pass removed. Repeated incidences will result in the loss of transport privileges on a permanent basis.
A number of contracted vehicles are now fitted with CCTV which will be in operation on school runs. CCTV footage may be used to investigate instances of poor behaviour.
Luggage should be stored in appropriate spaces or under seats. Bags should not be left in aisles on seats.

Contract Vehicles may proceed to other private contracts following school runs. Pupils should leave the vehicle in a clean and tidy condition, taking all litter with them.
