Commentary on Sections Section 5 - Driver training
13.This section empowers the Welsh Ministers to make regulations requiring a local authority or a governing body of a maintained school that provides learner transport to ensure that the drivers of those vehicles have completed appropriate training about safety on learner transport and working with children. The regulations may prescribe the kinds of training that need to be undertaken and specify standards that must be met.
14.Subsection (2) of section 14E allows the training and standards to be prescribed by reference to a document published by the Welsh Ministers.
