E-Scooters

Dear Parents/Guardians & Pupils

There is a lot of confusion regarding the use of E-scooters on our roads across Merseyside. Liverpool has been nominated as one of several cities to trial the rental orange e-scooters operated by VOI and they have been given a temporary VSO (vehicle special order) to allow them to operate and riders to ride E-scooters legally.

It is important to understand that Private E-scooters (i.e. any scooters not operated by VOI) have not been given a VSO and are therefore illegal to use except on private land and then, only with landowner’s permission.

With regards to the VOI trial scooters, there are strict conditions attached to their use as they are classed as motor vehicles

• The person who hires the e-scooter must be 18 and have a UK driver’s licence.
• The company renting the vehicle must have insurance for the person hiring.
• The person must follow traffic laws whilst in control of a rental e-scooter.
• E-scooters travel at around maximum speed of 15.5 mph
• The person hiring must keep to the terms of the rental scheme

In the case of privately owned E-Scooters:

• They cannot be used on the roads or public spaces.
• They can only be used on private land with the permission of the landowner.
• Some private E-scooters can travel more than 40mph
• You cannot get insurance to use these on the road.
• These can be seized by police for no insurance or the rider having no licence.

There have been road traffic collisions involving e-scooters and we want to keep people safe on our roads. The rider of the rental E-scooters may be fined if found committing traffic offences and be given points on their licences.

If you have any issues, or witness any incidents you can contact VOI directly on 0800-3768179 or support@voiapp.io

EU Settlement Scheme

Dear parents & Carers,

This is an important notice for all non-UK citizens

The UK has now left the European Union and you’ll be aware that citizens of the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland who wish to continue living and working in the UK must apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) for settled or pre-settled status. The deadline to do this is 30 June 2021.

 Applying to the scheme is very important as it means that people will protect the rights that they currently have, including the right to employment, to rent a home, and to access healthcare and benefits.

Citizens of these countries who are also parents must ensure that they also apply on behalf of their children, whether their children are citizens of the countries covered by the scheme or, if they are not citizens of those countries, their parent(s) is/are.

It is now fewer than 50 days until the EUSS closes to applications it is vital that if you need to apply you do so before the deadline.

Applications should be made online via GOV.UK and are free.

If people need advice prior to making their application they should contact Citizens’ Advice in Liverpool as this is the commissioned service to provide support. They can call 0151 522 1725 or email euss@caliverpool.org.uk

Yours Sincerely

Mrs M Walsh
