We subcontract transport provision to a small selection of trusted and proven coach companies - based on the Isle of Wight or regionally on the UK mainland. Each company has its own rules regarding DBS checks but it is a requirement of our ongoing contract with these providers that all drivers used on our tours are fully enhanced DBS checked.
When we use Island-based coach operators, the driver goes home at the end of the day, so there are no safeguarding concerns overnight. However, when using mainland-based coach operators, we will always look to accommodate driver(s) offsite unless we have both agreed otherwise.
