Parents should be home when their kids get dropped off home from their free taxi ride. No excuse. http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/news/parents ... 35171.aspx |

Quote: Mrs Hunt said she asked the driver to drop Freddie at Bay CE Primary School, Sandown, so she could collect him at the same time as her elder son, George, but instead he was taken straight home.
and i bet the contract states the pupil can ONLY be taken home, most do, its a door-to-door service, and free to the parent dont start me |

We get requests from both parents and kids to be dropped at places other than the official drop off point. County hall have told me that under no cercumstances are we allowed to do this because if we drop at another point and something happens, we will be held accountable. We have had some incidents where it has not been possible to drop certain children back at their home address because of problems in the street, for instance one one occasion a group of other kids were waiting for the one in my car so that they could beat him up. This was something that the council had not forseen. The policy now is that if you can't drop at the usual address and no alternative address is available (arranged in advance) we are to take pupils to the nearest police station where they will contact social services. I wonder if the police know that they can be childminders.

Or perhaps the parent could not be two places at one time? |

That may be the case. However if they weren't at home they should have arranged to pay a driver to take their kid to where ever they so choose, and not further ponce of the state. And especially not bellyache over it.
