Safe Carsharing

Safety on the school run depends on the actions of the parents and children involved. Below are some tips to assist you in making the schoolrun even safer:

• Ensure you don't share your kentschoolrun password with anyone
• Arrange to meet with the parents you'll be sharing the school run with before introducing them to your children
• Ask to see some form of identification, thereby confirming that the parent you're meeting is the same parent that registered with the school run scheme.
• Offer to show the other parents your insurance documents, tax disc, MOT certificate and driving licence, and ask to see their documents.
• You should confirm that the bicycles or cars which will be used to transport children are in good working order
• You should ensure that, if cycling, your child has undertaken appropriate training.
• Make sure you have all the relevant contact details of the other parents involved in your school run
• Arrange a meeting between your children, the other parents and their children
• Only let your children get in a car driven by a confirmed member of the scheme
• Ensure your children have the contact details of all relevant adults
• Explain to your children what they should do if a lift falls through
• Ensure that children under 12 years old and under 150cm tall use child restraints if they are fitted in a vehicle. Cars should not carry more children than there are child restraints or adult seatbelts.
• Ensure that you and the parents you share with never exceed the maximum number of passengers you may legally carry.
• Ensure that you have read, understood and agreed wtih the kentschoolrun Terms and Conditions
• Kentschoolrun is purely a matching service and cannot take any responsibility for the subsequent actions of matched parties.
