LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN SCOTLAND

At the start of our website project we wrote out to all local authorities in Scotland. We wanted to find out if there was training for taxi drivers with a disability awareness part to it. If the authority provided training, we asked for more information about it, so that it could help us with our training pack.

Pie Chart showing the Local Authorities who provide training, those who do not and those in the consultation process Out of 32 Local Authorities only 6 provide training to taxi drivers on disability awareness; these are:

Aberdeen City Council
Dundee City Council
East Ayrshire Council
East Lothian Council
Edinburgh City Council
Midlothian Council

The remaining 26 do not provide training at the moment. However 5 authorities are in a consultation process and are hoping to have training set up in the future. These are:

Clackmannanshire Council
North Lanarkshire Council
South Ayrshire Council
South Lanarkshire Council
West Lothian Council

The Local Authorities that did not provide training are very interested in our work and want to find out more about our training pack. We have written to them all telling them that the website is now active.
