Home-to-school & SEND transport · DfE & DVSA
Automate school transport compliance — DBS, safeguarding, and CPC in one place

Frequently asked questions
- Council contracts and private operators — both?
- Yes. Whether you run council home-to-school routes or hold a Traffic Commissioner operator licence, the same matrix and evidence model applies.
- Can we track drivers who rarely use email?
- Admins can maintain roster records and upload approved certificates on behalf of staff. Invites can be sent when the person is ready to sign in.
- Does VeraScutum replace MiDAS or CPC training providers?
- No. You continue with your approved training providers. VeraScutum tracks evidence, renewals, and gaps — and can deliver your own SCORM modules where configured.
- What does the beta include?
- Beta tier with sector starter matrix, gap tracking, SCORM limits, and exports. No charge during early access while billing is being finalised.
