Risk management of trips in vehicles

You want to take children in your care on an outing by vehicle. It?s exciting, stimulating for them, but a big undertaking for you! This page aims to help by:

  1. giving you an understanding of risk management and legal requirements;
  2. helping you decide if you really want to make the trip at all, or whether there are other options that may be just as educational and fun and more ‘eco’;
  3. helping you belt the children up safer if you do decide to go; and
  4. helping you choose a safer vehicle operator and safer vehicle and driver.
