Safeguard training
Please read the important information below relevant to your situation
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk.
As a taxi or private hire vehicle driver, you may observe incidents that nobody else does - so we believe it is crucial to equip our drivers and operators with the basic skills and knowledge necessary to identify and respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns.
All Surrey Borough Council's now require their drivers to successful complete the Safeguarding Adult and Child Sexual Exploitation online awareness training course. Upon completion you will receive a certificate. The training is provided by Barnardos and the course takes around 30 minutes to complete online.
If you have any technical issues with accessing, logging in or undertaking the training then please email: support@marshallacm.co.uk. This is because this is an external website beyond the control of the Council.
Drivers Application Process
As part of the application process all new and existing drivers will have to successfully complete the online awareness training once before their licence is granted and provide a copy of their certificate to the licensing team either via email, at a knowledge test or at a document drop in session. To undertake the training you will need to have access to a unique personal email address and have a method to make an online payment of £15 pounds direct to Barnardos.
