Special recognition for school transport escort
Published: 06/03/2018
天涯社区 has recognised a school transport escort who went
above and beyond the call of duty to help a pupil in her care.
Cheryl Woodfin, the mother of a pupil with a severe disability, raised
awareness of the heroic actions of her son鈥檚 transport escort. Thanks to the
care and professionalism shown by Ange Davies, Ms Woodfin鈥檚 son is now
recovering after suffering a seizure on his way to school. The mother
contacted her local councillor, Cllr Sean Bibby, to pass on her thanks for the
escort鈥檚 conduct in assisting and helping her son, which she said was
exceptional, and she had nothing but praise for the escort in what was quite a
distressing situation and said the care she gives to her son every day is
outstanding.
The driver of the bus, Tony Martin, also deserves a mention for the care and
support he gave on the day.
天涯社区鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Streetscene and Countryside, Councillor Carolyn
Thomas, said:
鈥淲e wanted to recognise the exceptional qualities of kindness, dedication and
professionalism shown by Ange and Tony in their work; it was also important to
hear that the training Ange had received from 天涯社区 helped
her in the situation. I very much enjoyed chatting with them and hearing about
what they do; their enjoyment of looking after Cheryls son and the other
children in their care shone through.
