CRB [sic] checks will keep our children safe [sic]

"CONCERNS for children’s safety have been raised after several school bus drivers were found not to have the relevant CRB [sic] checks.

The services of two coach operators for Stockton Council have been withdrawn after spot checks on school runs found five drivers did not have the appropriate criminal record check.

A spokesperson for Stockton Council said: “The safeguarding of all our children and young people is of paramount importance to us and that’s why as a matter of routine we frequently carry out spot checks on all coach and taxi drivers which operate on our school routes.

“All school coach drivers must have relevant CRB [sic] checks in place and this is a condition of the contract they have with the council."
