Above and beyond
We don’t just meet minimum requirements. We go beyond them.
​
Every vehicle includes a medically-trained Passenger Assistant, not just an escort, but a skilled practitioner.
With Team Teach Level 1 training, they can de-escalate situations, support emotional regulation, maintain calm environments, and respond appropriately to distressed behaviour. This is expertise taxi companies cannot match.
​
Our specialist drivers complete nationally recognised MiDAS training, covering safe minibus operation, disability awareness, and best practice in passenger safety and comfort. Taxi drivers simply don’t receive this level of specialist training.
To guarantee consistent professional care, every team member completes mandatory training in safeguarding, Prevent, GDPR, first aid, health and safety, mental health awareness, equality and inclusion, and behaviour awareness.
This standard ensures a shared culture of care, because transport isn’t just travel; it’s a vital part of a child’s wellbeing.

The team is always kind, patient and understanding even when my son has more challenging days.
