Improving Safety at School Bus Stops - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘pupils;’ and insert:
‘recognises the need for a broader and more comprehensive approach to improving the safety of children travelling to and from school, particularly at roadside locations and in rural areas where road layouts may increase risk; acknowledges that this requires more than legislative change alone; calls on the Minister for Infrastructure to work alongside the Minister of Education, school transport providers, the PSNI and other stakeholders to bring forward a cross-departmental strategy to improve pupil safety, including measures such as the development of safer school bus stop infrastructure, increased use of warning signage and lighting, public awareness campaigns targeted at drivers, and improved guidance for schools and parents on safe travel practices; and further calls on the Minister to review existing legislation and consider any changes required to better protect all pupils travelling to and from school.
