Staff Use of Private Vehicles Policy

This Staff Use of Private Vehicles Policy provides clear and compliant procedures for transporting children in staff members’ private vehicles. It ensures that safety, safeguarding, and legal requirements are met at all times. The policy outlines conditions for vehicle suitability, valid insurance, licensing, MOT, and risk assessments before use. It also defines staff responsibilities, consent requirements, journey planning, and procedures for reporting incidents or concerns. Children’s safety, comfort, and dignity are prioritised during all journeys. By following this policy, the organisation ensures transport arrangements are safe, transparent, and consistent, while protecting children, staff, and the organisation from risk.
