Call for mandated school van supervision after 'preventable' death of disabled boy

A mother in Auckland is advocating for mandatory supervision in school vans following the tragic death of her disabled son. She has launched a petition urging the government to require at least two adults to be present in every van transporting students. The incident has highlighted concerns about the safety protocols for vulnerable children during school transportation.

This issue matters because it addresses the critical need for adequate safety measures to protect children, especially those with disabilities, while they are in the care of school transport services.
