Transport to Community Care services
Last updated | 26/05/2010
The Council's Public Transport Unit now arranges transport to
and from
Community Care services such as day care for older people and
Adult Resource Centres for people with learning disabilities. The
transport is provided by a mix of the Council's own vehicles,
voluntary organisations and private sector transport operators.
Eligibility
Eligibility for transport is determined by a service user's Care
Manager and queries regarding this should be made directly to the
relevant person within
Community Care.
Information
Once the transport has been arranged, each service user will be
notified of the arrangements for their transport. In addition, each
service user who receives transport will get a copy of the 'Service
Users and Carers Leaflet' which should provide all the necessary
information relating to their transport.
Contracts
If you are a transport operator and would like to find out more
about tendering for Community Care and other transport contracts,
please go to the
'Transport Tendering' section.
Private sector operators undertaking Community Care Transport
Contracts are subject to detailed conditions of contract that cover
a wide range of requirements relating to their safe and legal
operation. One of the requirements is the mandatory screening of
criminal records for all drivers and attendants used on transport
contracts.
