Dorset County Council (DCC) school bus passes These cards will be sent direct to your home address by second class post.

DCC school bus passes will be for the life of attendance at your school or college, subject to transport entitlement and so will not need to be re-issued every year. These passes contain an electronic chip. School vehicles are fitted with electronic chip readers that will allow passes to be checked and details of the journeys recorded.

If a bus pass is lost during the academic year you must obtain a temporary pass from your school office in order to continue using school transport until a replacement pass can be issued.

Hurricane Beryl - guidance for impacted personnel and their Chain of Command

 

Hurricane Beryl, a category five storm, has caused significant damage to homes, property, and infrastructure across the Caribbean islands where it has made landfall. This includes Grenada and St Vincent at the time of writing.

The full extent of the damage caused by the storm is yet unknown and casualty numbers, while thankfully low so far, continue to grow. Communications with the impacted areas remain extremely challenging and it is unclear when telecommunications services will be restored.

Significant numbers of British Army personnel originate from the affected region and have immediate family and friends who may be directly impacted by the storm. Additionally, some civil servants working as part of the Chain of Command will be similarly affected.

The Chain of Command and Line Managers should be prepared to support affected personnel, including signposting to the range of support organisations available to them through the usual provision of British Army and civil service welfare resources.

The following resources provide information about the current impact of the storm:

• FCDO Website: Foreign travel advice - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
• Government (www.gov.vc)
• https://www.svghighcom.co.uk/site/Home.html

The damage caused by the storm has been extensive and the rebuilding process will likely be lengthy. All personnel are encouraged to support their colleagues through this challenging time.
