DDifficulty 3/5

On school transport covered by Royal Decree 443/2001 where an escort is required, no agreement assigns escort accreditation to the carrier. Who must accredit that person?

Correct answer

The service organiser, since no express agreement assigns accreditation to the carrier.

The service organiser. Only an express agreement can assign accreditation to the carrier. The escort must be a suitable adult other than the driver and know the vehicle’s safety mechanisms. Providing the escort under the contract and accrediting their suitability are distinct duties. The carrier remains responsible for satisfying the requirement for an escort aboard when required. A school or parents’ association can act as service organiser; its name alone does not determine responsibility.
