Building a Better SEND Transport Workforce – On Demand

Your Flexible Solution for Specialist Education Transport

At Driven People, we specialise in providing high-quality, fully compliant drivers for home-to-school transport – particularly within the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) sector. We understand the complexity and sensitivity involved in these routes, and our platform is built to make life easier for both operators and local authorities who are tasked with delivering this essential service.

Flexible Driver Pools – Built for SEND Transport

SEND transport often involves split shifts, irregular hours, and very specific vehicle and licence requirements. That’s not easy to staff for, especially when you're trying to cover sickness, annual leave, or a sudden resignation. That’s where we come in.

We offer a flexible pool of SEND-experienced drivers who can step in for short-term needs or take on full-time contracts. All our drivers are compliant, compassionate, and ready to work. Many hold D1 licences where required and all hold Enhanced DBS checks – which we pay for, saving operators money right from the outset.

No Minimum Hours. No Risk. Just Results

Unlike traditional agencies that often lock you into minimum hour commitments or weekly contracts, we operate on a pay-as-you-go basis. Operators only pay for approved timesheets – that’s it. No minimums, no upfront fees, no wasted spend.

It’s a model designed for modern transport providers who need flexibility, cost efficiency, and high standards – not red tape.

Built-in Compliance and Quality Control

SEND transport demands high levels of safeguarding and compliance. With Driven People, you don’t need to chase down paperwork or cross-check details manually.

Every operator gets access to our easy-to-use digital platform, which includes:

  • Full driver profiles
  • Up-to-date compliance documents
  • Enhanced DBS confirmation
  • Licence checks
  • Operator star ratings and written reviews

This gives you total transparency, making it easier to build trust with drivers and reassure parents, schools, and local authorities.

Looking Ahead to the 25/26 School Year

If you’re an operator looking to build a reliable, complaint-vetted driver pool for the upcoming 2025/26 school year, now is the time to act. Getting set up early gives you access to the best drivers and ensures you’re fully covered before September rolls around.

Book a meeting with us today and we’ll show you how it works – the platform is completely free to join, and there’s no obligation to commit. Let’s work together to raise the standard in SEND transport.
