Why does the parent/guardian or responsible adult have to be with the child at the departure point?
A. The person and the child/children are required to be at the departure point 20 minutes before the scheduled departure time of the coach. The person ensures the wellbeing of the child until the coach arrives, hands the Unaccompanied Child form to the driver and assists the child to boards the coach at the start of their journey. If the coach is delayed, the person is present to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the child/children. For Boarding Schools, we have special arrangements listed later in this document.
