DDifficulty 3/5

When an escort is mandatory on school transport, what age requirement must that person meet in addition to the service’s other requirements?

Correct answer

An adult.

The escort must be a suitable adult, separate from the driver. Article 8 requires accreditation by the organiser; the carrier may accredit only by express agreement. The escort must know the safety mechanisms and care for minors during travel, boarding and alighting. This role does not by itself require being a teacher or holding a D licence. Special-education transport also requires appropriate professional qualifications.
