As of January 2020, all licensing authorities in the UK were made subject to new statutory guidance.
This was in response to widely publicised investigations into safeguarding across the UK. Many recommendations were made to councils in relation to the protection of the public, including the need for all new and existing drivers to complete a form of Safeguarding training.
The guidance states "All licensing authorities should provide safeguarding advice and guidance to the trade and should require taxi and private hire vehicle drivers to undertake safeguarding training''.
