Original consultation

Summary

Seeking views on plans to introduce a compensation scheme for approved driving instructors (ADIs) who are suspended but then not removed from the ADI register.

This consultation ran from
8 March 2010 to 11:45pm on 31 May 2010

Consultation description

This consultation is about introducing a compensation scheme in connection with The Driving Instruction (Suspension And Exemption Powers) Act 2009.

The act introduces a power for the Driving Standards Agency to suspend the approval of driving instructors in rare situations where they pose a danger to the public. This will usually be where the instructor is:

• convicted of a serious violent or sexual offence
• delivering tuition of a dangerously low level

Before the suspension power can be used, a compensation scheme must be in place for instructors whose approval to instruct is suspended but not subsequently removed.

The proposals are about the system for making a claim for compensation and how compensation will be worked out.
