Guide to Bus Guardian (Check Scan Card)

What is Bus Guardian?

Bus Guardian is a system that helps to ensure that no child has been left on the bus. It is a system that adds an additional layer of School Bus student safety, ensuring Schools and Bus Companies meet their duty of care requirements.

How Bus Guardian works

Bus Guardian enforces the Driver, Teacher and Supervisor to walk to the back of the bus and tap onto the assigned RollCall Check Scan Card positioned there. This ensures they check the Bus for any students still onboard.

All this information can be tracked centrally on a dashboard and reports to ensure that all Drivers, Supervisors and Teachers have checked the bus before leaving. This makes it virtually impossible for a Driver to finish their run without walking the bus and checking for students.
