Safeguards

Safeguards built into School operations

Collection rights and medical needs are visible only to the staff responsible that day.

It always

  • Releases a child only to an authorised collector
  • Limits bus tracking to the journey
  • Records every inspection and handover

It never

  • Tracks a student's location outside school transport
  • Closes a safety job without verification

Where AI helps

AI suggests routes and maintenance priorities. The operations lead approves.
