Civil penalty accreditation scheme for hauliers

A collection of information to help road transport companies and their drivers secure their vehicles to stop people using them to enter the UK illegally, and to avoid being fined.

The civil penalty accreditation scheme helps road transport companies and their drivers secure their vehicles to stop ‘clandestine entrants’. A clandestine entrant is a person who hides in or on a vehicle to avoid going through UK border control.
