EVC Safety & Compliance Hub

Compliance, vetting & EVOLVE — made simple.

Everything an Educational Visits Coordinator needs to sign off school transport: operator vetting standards, a sample EVOLVE compliance pack, and a free risk assessment template.

Operator vetting standards

What we check before a coach moves a pupil.

Euro VI & ULEZ compliance

Every coach we assign meets Euro VI emissions standards and is fully ULEZ-compliant, so school trips into London's clean-air zones run without surcharges or entry issues.

Operational seatbelts

All vehicles come fitted with operational, age-appropriate seatbelts — checked before every journey — so every pupil is belted and accounted for from pickup to drop-off.

PSVAR accessibility

PSVAR-accessible vehicles are available on request, with wheelchair lifts and securement points, so every student can travel with their class.

EVOLVE compliance pack

A sample of what we deliver with every booking.
