Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the Spanish regulations on safety conditions in school transport and transport of minors (Royal Decree 443/2001), when the presence of a suitable attendant to supervise the pupils during the journey is mandatory, the obligation to provide and prove one generally falls on the entity organizing the service. However, the regulation allows that, by express contractual agreement, that obligation may be assumed directly by the transport company. Therefore, it is not a responsibility that mandatorily falls either on the school exclusively or on the parents' association, unless one of them formally acts as the organizing entity and has not agreed otherwise.
