1 Convictions Policy Private Hire & Hackney Carriage Driver Licences
2 1. Background 1.1 It is a function of the Council to issue Hackney Carriage and Private Hire licences under the Local Government Miscellaneous Provisions Act In Wakefield, licensing and enforcement matters are dealt with by the Licensing Section. 1.2 The paramount concern when licensing hackney carriage and private hire drivers is the protection of the travelling public including other road users. The aim of this policy is to ensure that public safety is not compromised. 1.3 All licences are issued with a set of Conditions which the licence holder must comply with. Copies are attached to every licence and are available on request. 1.4 The Council must ensure that applicants / licence holders are and remain fit and proper to hold a licence. This requirement is contained within Sections 51 and 59 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 (Part II). To do this, the Council have adopted the guidelines as set out below. 1.5 In this policy the word Conviction is to be defined as including convictions, cautions, warnings, reprimands and other relevant information. 1.6 In this policy from date sentence has ended means from the date the sentence given has ended and not sentence served has ended. 2. Applying the Guidance 2.1 The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance to an applicant or existing licence holder on the criteria taken into account by the Council when determining whether or not a person is fit and proper to hold a hackney carriage or private hire driver's licence. 2.2 Although each case will be decided on its own merits, when determining whether or not a person is fit and proper to become, or remain a licensed driver. The Council shall only depart from the Policy in exceptional circumstances. The otherwise good character and driving record of the applicant or licence holder will not ordinarily be considered as exceptional circumstances. 2.3 Whilst it is possible that an applicant or existing licence holder may have convictions that individually comply with the policy, the overall offending history and conduct of the applicant/licence holder will be considered. Appropriate weight will be applied where a series of convictions / incidents have been incurred over a period of time. When there are a number of convictions incurred by an applicant or licence holder which are detailed in this policy, weight will be given to the more serious offence. However, additional weight may be attached when considering any other relevant offences
3 2.4 For renewal applications and current licence holders the guidance will not be applied retrospectively. The Policy will be applied if any additional convictions are incurred or brought to the attention of the Council that would call into question a person s suitability to hold a licence. 2.5 When determining whether a person is fit and proper, the Council must under the Human Rights Act, Article 1 of Protocol 1 have regard to the following: Every natural or legal person is entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of his possessions. No one shall be deprived of his possessions except in the public interest and subject to the conditions provided for by law and by the general principles of international law. 2.6 Applicants for private hire and hackney carriage licences need to be aware that, as a consequence of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) (Amendment) Order 2002, they are excluded from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, in relation to spent convictions. This means that all convictions, cautions, warnings and reprimands must be declared. 2.7 When considering evidence of an applicants/licence holders fitness to hold a driver s licence, where previous convictions or other information relating to criminal matters are disclosed, the Council will consider the nature of the offence, when the offence was committed, the date of conviction, the applicant s age, and any other factors which might be relevant. Where an applicant has been convicted of a criminal offence, the Council cannot reconsider the circumstances of the conviction. 2.8 Whilst a licence will normally be granted after the elapsed period there may be circumstances where the elapsed period will be extended. For example; where an offence took place whilst a person was acting in a professional capacity including acting as a licensed private hire or hackney carriage driver. 2.9 Any foreign offence disclosed by the applicant/licence holder or revealed on an enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service Disclosure will be dealt with in line with this policy Any offences not covered by this Policy will not prevent the Council from taking into account the offences. 3. Responsibilities of the Applicant/Licence Holder 3.1 It is the responsibility of the applicant/licence holder to satisfy the Council that they are a fit and proper person to hold a licence. The applicant/licence holder must ensure that all convictions, cautions, warnings, reprimands, fixed penalties, arrests and summonses are disclosed to the Council
4 3.2 Any current hackney carriage/private hire driver licence holder is required by condition attached to their licence to notify the authority within 7 days of: a) any conviction (motoring or criminal) b) any caution, warning or reprimand (issued by the Police or any other agency) c) their arrest for any offence (whether or not charged) d) issue of any Magistrates Court summons against them e) any fixed penalty notice for any matter 4. Options when determining application/licence 4.1 When determining an application or reviewing an existing licence the Council have the following options: approve the application or take no further action refuse the application / revoke the licence / suspend the licence For existing drivers who have accumulated 9, 10 or 11 points on their DVLA driving licence, their private hire or hackney carriage driver licence will be suspended, until the driver has successfully undertaken a private hire or hackney carriage DSA driving test, at their own expense. 5. Appeal Rights 5.1 Any person whose application is refused or licence revoked or suspended by the Council has a right of appeal to the Magistrates Court. An Appeal must be lodged within 21 days of the decision at the appropriate Magistrates Court. Appeal rights are contained in Section 77 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 (Part II) and Section 300 of the Public Health Act
