Hi,
It’s been some time since I posted and wanted advice so here goes.
My daughter has multiple complex needs and is transported daily to her placement. Chest problems especially.
I have been able to smell cigarette smoke I her taxi and confronted the driver and escort who (eventually) admitted that they have smoked in the vehicle, although not when she has been in it.
I explained that it was against the law and they apologised and said it wouldn’t happen again, they now sometimes stand at the bottom of my drive smoking before they get in the taxi to transport her!
Just as bad in my book!
My problem is that they say they don’t smoke in the vehicle and then this evening as they were pulling away I saw the escort taking out her packet of cigarettes!
I know I should report them but I wanted to see if I could gather evidence first, sounds sneaky I know but I feel I “Need to prove my case”
I have been looking to see if there are any smoke detecting patches etc I could use but can’t find anything.
Perhaps I should just air my concerns to the council and get it over with but I know they don’t have any other staff trained for my daughters complex needs on the other hand I am not willing to put my daughters health at any more risk.
