Learner Safety

Trust, Safety & Professional Standards

Learning to drive is built on trust. A safe, respectful, and supportive environment is essential, not only for developing driving skills but also for protecting each learner’s wellbeing.

All instruction is delivered in line with standards set by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). Every Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) must be assessed as a “fit and proper” person, ensuring the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, and responsibility.

DVSA Code of Conduct

All ADIs are expected to follow the DVSA’s professional Code of Conduct, which sets the benchmark for:

• Professional behaviour

• Honesty and integrity

• Respectful and clear communication

• Safeguarding responsibilities

• Maintaining high instructional standards

Instructor registration can be verified via the official GOV.UK ADI register for complete peace of mind.

Enhanced Safeguarding & Background Checks

Your safety is a top priority. In line with DVSA requirements and best safeguarding practices:

• A current and valid Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate is held and maintained

• Continuous DBS coverage is ensured with no gaps in clearance

• In addition, a current Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) membership is also held

While PVG certification is primarily used in Scotland, holding both DBS and PVG clearance provides an additional level of safeguarding assurance — particularly for learners and families located near the England–Scotland border.

For full transparency, professional identification is displayed during lessons, including:

• Instructor name

• ADI registration number

• Safeguarding certification details

A Safe, Professional Learning Environment

Lessons are delivered in a calm, respectful, and supportive setting, helping learners to build confidence while feeling safe and at ease.

A strong emphasis is placed on:

• Learner wellbeing and safeguarding

• Professional standards and accountability

• Clear, supportive communication

• Creating a positive and pressure-free learning experience
