We have developed a range of good practice documents to support voluntary transport schemes in Nottinghamshire as part of the Mobility Strategy.
We are developing a 'Quality Standard for Community Transport Providers' and have developed a Statement of Shared Values [PDF 50KB]. This includes standards in key areas such as health and safety, equal opportunities, volunteer management and legal compliance.
Draft Quality Standard
A number of supporting documents are available to support the Quality Standard. These documents will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis:
- Business Plans - further information on business plans can be obtained from the Business Link website
- Organisational Health check template:
-
MIDAS Training - Information about Minibus Driver and Passenger Assistant Training
- Copies of the Community Transport Scheme monitoring forms used by schemes funded by us are available to download here:
Minibus schemes
The following Minibus documents are available on request from the County Council:
- Minibus Safety Policy and Guidance
- Education Minibus Guide.
Email: passengertransport@nottscc.gov.uk to request these documents.

In partnership with Rural Community Action Nottinghamshire (RCAN), we provide volunteer driver security badges, including lanyards and windscreen displays. If you would like to order supplies of any of these items please contact RCAN tel: 01623 727600.
Section 19 and Section 22 Permits
There are two types of permit under which Community Transport minibuses can operate: Section 19 Small Bus Permit, and Section 22 Community Minibus Permit. They each offer transport solutions to meet a range of community needs.
