Taxi Driver Online

nowt new here

Tandridge District Council is seeking views about proposed changes to current taxi and private hire licensing policy, in a consultation running now until Monday 4 December.

The proposed changes include the adoption of a new taxi and private hire convictions policy and mandatory Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) awareness training for all drivers.

Residents and businesses can take part in the consultation at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/driverconvictions or visit www.tandridge.gov.uk

All Surrey councils are revising their licensing policies for taxi and private hire to provide a more consistent approach to training and assessment of drivers across the county. This means someone who fails to get a licence in one part of Surrey, won’t be able to apply for a licence in another, as all councils will adopt the same approach.

In addition, when deciding whether an applicant is suitable to hold a licence, all councils will take into account criminal convictions, along with factors such as general character and behaviour, non-criminal behaviour and other police information.


The changes also include the introduction of mandatory safeguarding training for taxi drivers who want to get or keep a licence. This will help drivers be more aware of and help spot signs of CSE and inform them of the best ways to report concerns for children or vulnerable adults at risk.

Following the consultation, the results will be analysed and the final policies agreed in early 2018.

So Grandad your starter for 10 where is Tandridge
