We tutor existing drivers who wish to become safer drivers as follows: Provision of practical driving coaching, on a one-to-one basis wherever possible. Coaching sessions are held weekly between March and October each year and may also take place outwith those times, by individual arrangement. Pupils are expected to study advanced driving theory, using the police manual "Roadcraft" and other materials supplied by the club. They may sit an internal club test and, if successful, be provided with further coaching towards the RoSPA Advanced Driving Test, which is conducted by a RoSPA-appointed examiner. Group sessions on advanced driving theory (usually on a particular topic) are also held from time to time. These are led by Approved/Advanced Group Tutors within the organisation or external tutors of at least the same standard. There is an annual competition day at which members can test their theory, car-handling skills and on-the-road driving ability.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
