Simple terms explainer:
Councils must ensure that every seat in vehicles used for school transport - like buses that take pupils to and from school or on school trips - has a seat belt. This law helps keep children safer while travelling. It doesn’t apply to regular public buses, only to vehicles arranged specifically for school journeys.
