When can transport happen?
Transport may be provided when it is part of your agreed support or service.
Transport must be planned and safe.
How do we keep transport safe?
We take steps to help keep everyone safe during transport.
We:
- check that transport is suitable
- consider any risks before a trip
- make sure vehicles are safe and suitable
- protect your information while travelling
- follow safety procedures when needed
What if there are transport risks?
Sometimes we may identify risks before or during transport.
If this happens, we may:
- complete or review a risk assessment
- arrange additional support for some trips
- discuss different transport options
- decide that transport cannot go ahead if the risk is too high
If we cannot provide transport, we will try to talk with you about other safe options.
What can you do to help?
You can help keep transport safe by:
- wearing a seatbelt when one is available
- following reasonable safety instructions
- telling a worker if you feel unwell, distressed or unsafe
- treating other people with respect during transport
Your safety matters
Your safety is important to us.
If there are concerns about safety, we may need to review transport arrangements before a trip can continue.
This helps us keep everyone safe.
