Posted By J Knight Hi Chrissie, I've sent you some stuff on the transport issues, as to your question about evacuation the only answer is practice and the problem may not admit of satisfactory resolution (what a sentence; born to push a pen!). As to the swimming bits; this is again really best resolved by individual risk assessment. Some of the duty will be on the swimming pool managers, some will be with the care provider; if you are acting only as a transport provider you would have no real duty once the destination was reached, however from your email I would guess you are actually facilitating the actual swimming. Look at individual ability, any medical conditions which might complicate the issue (seek guidance on these from the affected person in the first instance, if they can't or won't help talk to GP, physio, carers etc), and the need for and provision of rescue equipment. Bear in mind that thousands of disabled people go to swimming pools every day (my employer arranges such trips very frequently), take assessments one step at a time and don't be put off by their apparent complexity, John John
