Safeguarding training for Taxi Trade

The Regulatory Services Manager will give a verbal update.

Minutes:

The Regulatory Services Manager provided a verbal update which reminded Members of the Safeguarding Training for the Taxi Trade that had been taking place following the decision at the Licensing and Public Safety Committee held in July 2016.

Members were made aware that 230 members of the taxi trade had attended the free training sessions. 30 remained who had not undertaken the training.

The Regulatory Services Manager had contacted these remaining members of the taxi Trade via letter to remind them that this was the final opportunity to undertake the training free of charge. They were advised that if they did not accept the free training they would have to finance their own training.

Members were informed that future online training as suggested at the previous Licensing and Public Safety meeting was being looked into and the options were being assessed.

It was AGREED that the report be noted.
