Code of Conduct for DVA Approved
All members of the DIANI and all Instructors listed on the DIA Northern Ireland website agree to abide by the following code:
Instructors and owner(s) of driving/motorcycle riding school(s) must:
1) Not mislead the public over services provided by the school. This applies in particular to instructors’ qualifications and the likely cost of lessons which will be necessary to reach the standard required by the Driver Vehicle Agency driving/riding test.
2) Ensure that clients are fully aware of their terms of business.
3) Avoid improper language, suggestions or physical contact with clients.
4) Take all reasonable care, using skill and diligence, in instructing clients in all relevant aspects of traffic and driver/rider education.
5) Not discuss with others matters that a pupil has disclosed during a lesson. This does not apply to business matters which concern a driving/riding school or, where the lessons are being paid for by another person or company, information relevant to that person or company. In this case, while the third party has the right to this information, it will only be given with the client’s knowledge.
6) Maintain proper standards of personal hygiene and dress.
7) Ensure that any vehicle driven or used for training is maintained in good mechanical order and condition; is properly insured and taxed and, where appropriate, certified as roadworthy; and that all reasonable care is taken to keep it clean and tidy.
8) Ensure that tuition is carried out only within the terms of the law, with particular reference to driver licensing and provision of a professional service.
9) Ensure that training and supervision of trainee driving instructors (PDIs) is carried out in a professional and ethical manner; fulfilling all legal conditions and qualifications as stated by the Driver Vehicle Agency.
10) Continue professional development to the best of their ability.
