Key Highlights:
- Ensuring the safety of wheelchair users during travel is crucial. All wheelchair users travelling in mini-buses or other suitable vehicles must be securely fastened using appropriate wheelchair and occupant restraint systems.
- Staying updated with the latest equipment can help your staff reconfigure vehicles more quickly and safely. Recent innovations in restraint systems have made the process less cumbersome, potentially saving time and effort. I highly recommend that all staff become familiar with tail lifts and have access to clear documentation.

- Some passengers may require specialised harnesses when travelling in otherwise unmodified seats. I can guide your staff on the most secure harnesses and their proper fitting.
- I offer staff training and can review current practices. Recently, I collaborated with a council to evaluate the practices of transport providers.
