MiDAS - Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme

The M inibus Driver Awareness Scheme, is a programme developed to enhance the driving and passenger awareness skills of the many thousands of individuals who drive minibuses in the course of their work or on a voluntary basis.

MiDAS is designed to make appropriate assessment, training and accreditation available to minibus drivers from voluntary organisations, schools, colleges, and local authorities.

PATS - Passenger Assistant Training Scheme

The Passenger Assistant Training Scheme has been developed for those people who undertake the role of Passenger Assistant. The people we are calling Passenger Assistants are sometimes called Escorts, Passenger Carers, Care Assistants, Chaperones or Helpers, or have other similar job titles.

Some organisations make no distinction between Drivers and Passenger Assistants. Passenger Assistants may have driving duties and combined job titles such as Driver/Assistant or Driver/Carer. PATS is for anyone who has care or supervision of passengers when travelling by road, whether as a non-driving Passenger Assistant or as a Driver/Passenger Assistant.
