DVSA Advises Suspension of Classroom Delivery; Introduces Option for Remote Training

In response to the current emergency situation, DVSA advises periodic trainers to cease the delivery of classroom based periodic training.

DVSA, however, has decided to allow approved periodic trainers temporary authorisation to deliver approved courses remotely via digital platforms. Training will still need to be delivered over 7 hours, this may be in two 3.5 hour sessions over consecutive days.

You will need to ensure the usual conditions of course approval are met, that any online forum is suitable for remote auditing and maintain appropriate records for quality assurance. This will last until 12th June 2020.

Face coverings to become mandatory on public transport

From 15 June, face coverings will be required while using public transport in England.

  • government asks transport operators in England to make wearing face coverings a requirement of using public transport from 15 June to coincide with the next stage of carefully easing restrictions

  • bus, coach, train, tram, ferry and aircraft passengers must wear a face covering on their journey to help reduce the risk of transmission when social distancing is not always possible - with the government also working with operators to ensure staff are provided with face coverings where appropriate

  • guidance remains to work from home if you can and avoid public transport where possible
