Safe Transport Policy

Negligent driving can have painful emotional and legal consequences. Anyone who cannot/does not drive responsibly must not transport program attendees. Vehicles need to be driven carefully, observing the legal speed limits and road laws.

All motor vehicles use for transportation of program participants must be driven according to the road rules
A leader is never to be alone in a motor vehicle with a child, unless explicitly agreed to by the parent/guardian of the child, or in the case of emergencies.
A leader should be mindful when alone in a motor vehicle with a vulnerable adult, as to not take advantage of their position of power.
At no time should there be more passengers in a motor vehicle than the number of seat belts that are in working order and available for use.
All motor vehicles are required to be registered, road-worthy, in good working order and driven by licensed drivers with a full licence or a probationary license of two years.
If a child/vulnerable person is travelling in a motor vehicle by a worker/volunteer who possesses a provisional license, prior written consent should, wherever possible, be given by a parent/guardian, except in the case of emergencies. Provisional licenses additionally cannot transport more than 2 additional children/vulnerable adults.
Drivers must also have WWCC or Police Checks in place to transport children/vulnerable adults.
Drivers must complete a Drivers' declaration.
