<p>The rail industry has an established work programme and sexual misconduct is a
priority for British Transport Police. Our National Bus Strategy made clear that the
highest safety standards will be upheld by the commissioners. Bus Service Improvement Plans

together to ensure safety. In addition, taxi licensing authorities are completing
reviews of their existing policies and the Department is supporting the Taxis and
Private Hire Vehicles (Safeguarding and Road Safety) Bill through Parliament. The
Department is working closely with the Home Office on the cross-departmental strategy
to address Violence Against Women and Girls.</p>
