Approved operators for passenger transport

Individual drivers or passenger assistants

To provide home-to-school or social care transport for the council, you or your company must register with us as an operator. 

To become an individual driver or passenger assistant of a registered operator, you must apply for an authorised badge.

To apply for a badge, you will need a current DBS certificate. If you do not have one, we will help you apply for a new one.

If you have a current DBS certificate, registered via the online update service, a new badge application costs £12.
