Relief escorts are being sought by Moray Council to accompany vulnerable children to and from school.
Relief escorts are being sought by Moray Council to accompany vulnerable children to and from school.
The council employs a pool of escorts who help to ensure that pupils, all of whom have additional support needs, get to school and home again safely.
However, more escorts are needed to act as back-ups in the case of absence or illness.
The council’s transportation manager, Nicola Moss, said: “Many pupils with special needs are carried on minibuses or by taxi and in many cases they required to be accompanied by an escort. At the moment we have a shortage of relief escorts who we can call on, particularly in the Forres area.
“Anyone interested in becoming a relief escort can have a chat with staff in the council’s public transport unit on 01343 563803.”
