School Transportation of P1's

[Saabhonda]

Hi All,

My 5 year old was going on his first school trip, There are 19 kids in the class and so the school decided it would be a good idea to use 2 of the teachers own cars as the mini bus was full. My child ended up in the back seat with 2 other children with no booster/child seats. The car was a 02 Clio with non standard alloy wheels and driven by an older teacher.

We are not impressed and have approached the school head teacher who was very sorry.

My Q is what is the law surrounding the transportation of school children??????????


Thanks Nick

P.S this is my first post.....

Hi, Thanks for all your comments.

I have no plan to SUE anybody and if that was the plan I would not have taken out an advert on the WWW.

The point about the wheels was if the car is insured thru the school has it been declared that the car has been modified. Thus invalidating the insurance.

For the non parents amongst you P1 stands for Primary 1 ( 5-6 years old ).

Again thanks for all the response........
