Capebase refuses to cater to special needs, rewarded by DEC

The NSW Department of Education and Communities has once again shown its complete incompetence in relation to its administration of the Assisted School Travel Program (formerly known as the Special Needs Transport Service) with the revelation that Capebase Pty Ltd, an organisation which has featured on this blog for defrauding the department, having dangerous drivers and abusing students has taken over a run in the Blue Mountains formerly serviced by Katoomba-Leura Cabs.

Parents vented their anger to the Blue Mountains Gazette which has named and shamed the organisation for refusing to guarantee that they can guarantee to be able to cater to the special needs of students.

Les Ross and Capebase have been given special treatment by the department for years. It is well aware of the issues surrounding it, yet like Carenne Support it continues to be rewarded with lucrative transport contracts.

It's time for the education minister to sack Catherine Naismith, the manager of the Assisted School Travel Unit and to announce an inquiry into why organisations such as Capebase and Carenne Support were awarded contracts given their past poor performance.

Only into why runs haven't been properly allocated. It won't be into the whole system which it needs to be.

Guest said...

Yes it should,thank you.

Take a look at www.pacificshuttle.com.au Why is this Les Ross of Capebase using the heaps of junk he is running to schools when he has decent vehicles available?

Kenny The Koala said...

It needs to include the DEC's precious Carenne Support.

Well Ken Boston was inspecting the vehicles Capebase use for Carenne and he was not impressed and they had a mechanic at the inspection who said there vehicles were unroadworthy and deserved a defect notice.

Though Ken Boston commended Carenne Support for there work with the Assisted student travel runs and said that Carenne Support is an excellent model which other special schools should think of adopting.

Geoff Salmon ought to be congratulated for his hard work in setting up Carenne Support and making Carenne Support what it is today.

Thought you might be interested to know that Jason the father of Sarah Bailey has been charged with sexually assaulting Sarah Bailey.

This is due to the good work of Janelle Kemp that Jason has been brought to justice.

Detective Paul McCann arrested Adam Ryan over the sexual assault of Ashley Elphick yesterday. It is understood that he was provided with a lawyer from the Department and exercised his right of silence.

It is understood that he was released without charge.

Carenne Support Limited wasn't properly allocated or do they operate under Tony Innaimo Transport?

Guest said...

Is this the same 8 year old child that got raped at Carenne Public School Bathurst and who Janelle Kemp called her a SLUT,because she didn't want her back at Carenne Public School Bathurst ?

Guest said...

While she was on Janelle Kemp's "WATCH"

If it was not for Jenelle Kemp's work in carefully observing this student for signs of abuse it would not have been uncovered.

A child is no longer being abused due to the good work of Bathurst Police.

Kemp said...

Your claim has been fully investigated by Carenne Support.

The allegation that Mr Salmon took buses down to Sydney is completely illogical.

There is no record of that occurring or any accounts being paid for repairs on buses being conducted in Sydney.

It would be completely illogical to drive a bus down there as it would cost money in petrol more than any discount.

The repairs are carried out by qualified business in Bathurst.

You can come and check the records if you like. They are held at Carenne School and Helen Windsor has been informed by Carenne Support she is to make them available to any person who asks.
