Trained to help the disabled
Echo
CAB drivers in Castle Point are being trained to ensure they give the best possible service to people with disabilities.
The disability awareness training has been organised by the licensing team at Castle Council and is being provided to Hackney carriage and private hire drivers.
The training will help drivers aid passengers, including wheelchair users, people with walking difficulties and those with hearing problems.
The one-day courses also looked at customer care and the safety and comfort of passengers.
Cliff Brunt, chairman of the licensing committee, said: "We hope drivers find this training both interesting and useful."
