Your Drivers Are a Managed Risk. We Manage It.
Foresight provides outsourced driver-risk management for organisations whose employees drive for work. We handle the driver assessments, risk records, management reporting and targeted driver development that would otherwise need to be managed in-house.
Foresight means anticipating what lies ahead. Instead of assessments arranged one at a time, you get a programme that runs across the year — and documented evidence of how occupational road risk is being managed across your fleet.
What we take on
Assess. Manage. Develop.
Assess
Every contracted driver assessed on-road against consistent criteria, in the vehicle they use for work, and classified Low, Medium or High.
Manage
Driver risk records, classifications, scheduling and quarterly management reporting maintained on your behalf for the whole programme year.
Develop
Targeted coaching and reassessment where the assessment findings call for it, so a Medium or High classification is not where the record stops.
90-Minute Core Assessment
On-road assessment in the driver’s own work vehicle, against consistent criteria.
Written Management Reporting
Documented findings, classifications and recommended actions.
Risk Classification
Low / Medium / High reporting methodology applied consistently.
Outsourced Programme Management
Driver-risk records, scheduling and reporting run on your behalf.
Driver risk is somebody’s job. Usually nobody’s.
Most organisations know their employees drive for work and know that carries risk. What they rarely have is somebody whose actual job it is to assess those drivers, keep the records current, chase the follow-ups and produce something a director can read.
In practice it lands on a fleet administrator, an HSE manager or a line manager who already has a full role. Assessments happen once and are never repeated. New starters slip through. A driver is classified as higher risk and nothing is scheduled to address it. Then an incident happens and the only evidence available is an insurance claim.
Foresight takes the function on as a contracted service. You keep the decisions about your people; we do the assessment, the administration, the records and the reporting — and we tell you promptly when something needs your attention rather than saving it for a quarterly review.
Driver risk assessment
On-road assessment of every contracted driver against consistent criteria, in the vehicle they actually use for work.
Driver risk records
A maintained record per driver: assessment history, risk classification, recommended actions and what was done about them.
Scheduling and coordination
Booking, rescheduling and chasing, handled through one point of contact rather than by your line managers.
Management reporting
Quarterly management summaries showing where risk sits across the fleet and what has changed since the last one.
New starters and incidents
New drivers assessed as they join and post-incident referrals handled as they arise, within your included allowances.
Driver development
On Complete, targeted development and reassessment where assessment findings identify a need, so a finding is acted on rather than filed.

A practical starting point before committing to a fleet-wide programme: one day at one of your sites, up to three drivers assessed on-road, and written evidence you can take to a board.
Recommended starting point
Fleet Driver Baseline Assessment Day
£595+ VATUp to 3 drivers at one operating site
The day reserves assessment capacity rather than buying a per-driver rate: the fee is £595 + VAT whether one, two or three drivers ultimately attend.
Where a fleet programme starts within 90 days, £169 + VAT per qualifying assessed driver is credited against programme implementation — up to £507 + VAT on a standard 3-driver day.
- Reserved assessment capacity for up to 3 drivers
- One operating site
- Approximately 90 minutes on-road per driver
- Assessment in each driver’s normal work vehicle
- Individual written assessment reports
- Low / Medium / High occupational driver-risk classification
- Recommended management actions
- Management and programme summary
- Standard travel within our normal service area
Then run it as an ongoing programme
Annual programmes are priced per contracted driver per programme year, with standard published pricing for straightforward fleets of 10–50 contracted drivers. Managed covers the administration of driver risk; Complete adds the development side.

Anticipate risk. Protect drivers.
Occupational road risk is managed across three areas — the driver, the vehicle and the journey. Our work sits primarily with the driver, and reports on what is observed of the vehicle and journey factors that surround them. We do not take on your vehicle maintenance, journey scheduling or wider health and safety duties.
Assess
Every contracted driver assessed on-road against consistent criteria, in the vehicle they use for work, and classified Low, Medium or High.
Manage
Driver risk records, classifications, scheduling and quarterly management reporting maintained on your behalf for the whole programme year.
Develop
Targeted coaching and reassessment where the assessment findings call for it, so a Medium or High classification is not where the record stops.
Driver
Competence, attitude, licence status, health, fatigue and development history.
- Practical assessment
- Licence checking
- Development records
Vehicle
Suitability for the task, maintenance, daily checks and defect reporting.
- Walkaround checks
- Defect reporting

What a Foresight programme can measure
Individual assessments produce individual reports. A programme turns that activity into fleet-level information — and, depending on the scope agreed with your organisation, management reporting can give visibility of the following.
Driver risk classifications
How assessed drivers fall across the Low, Medium and High classifications used in reporting.
Common development themes
Areas that recur across a group of assessed drivers, such as planning, speed management or manoeuvring.
Driver competency patterns
Which assessment areas are consistently strong and which are more frequently identified for development.
Post-assessment recommendations
The recommended actions issued after assessment, and which drivers they relate to.
Reassessment outcomes
Where reassessment forms part of the programme, how findings compare with the earlier assessment.
Programme completion
How many drivers within an agreed scope have been assessed, and how many remain scheduled.
Multi-site activity
Activity broken down by location or team where an organisation operates from more than one site.
Recurring risk themes
Themes that persist across assessment rounds and may warrant broader management attention.
Case studies
Real client case studies will be published as completed programmes become available. We do not publish invented outcomes, savings figures or client names.
Assess, manage and develop
Every service is delivered in the employee’s own work vehicle, on roads that reflect their normal driving, and documented for management. Individually, or as part of an annual programme.
01 · Assess
On-road assessment that records how your employees actually drive for work, and classifies the risk that presents.
02 · Manage
The ongoing administration, records and reporting that turn individual assessments into a managed driver-risk programme.
03 · Develop
Coaching that acts on what the assessments found, so a Medium or High classification is not where the record ends.
Fleet risk focus
Occupational road risk is the whole of our practice, not an add-on to learner tuition.
Reporting written for managers
Written findings, risk classification and recommended actions, set out to be read and acted on by management.
Driver, vehicle and journey
Assessment considers the driver, and reports on what is observed of the vehicle and journey factors.
Assessed in the work vehicle
The employee’s own work vehicle, own base and representative roads — not a dual-control school car.
Account coordination
One point of coordination for scheduling, requirements and reporting, rather than your managers chasing appointments.
Consistent criteria
The same assessment framework is applied across a driving population so reporting is comparable.
Built Around Professional Evidence
What we publish is how the work is structured. We do not publish testimonials, client names or outcome statistics we cannot evidence.
Structured Assessment
The same assessment criteria are applied to every driver, so findings across a driving population are directly comparable.
Written Reporting
Management receives documented findings, risk classifications and recommended actions in writing, not verbal feedback.
Targeted Development
Development is directed by what the assessment recorded, so effort goes where the evidence points.
Corporate Delivery
Programmes are built around your driver numbers, operating sites and scheduling constraints.

Frequently asked
How long does an assessment take?
The core Fleet Driver Risk Assessment is approximately 90 minutes on-road. Allowing for the driver briefing, any licence and eyesight checks, observation of the vehicle check and the end-of-drive debrief, it is sensible to allow around two hours of the driver’s day in total.
What is included in the report?
Each assessed driver receives a written report covering the assessment areas applied, an overall Low, Medium or High risk classification, assessor commentary, recommended actions and a suggested reassessment interval. Where a group of drivers is assessed, management also receives a programme summary. You can see the structure on our sample report page.
Can assessments be carried out at our site?
Yes, and that is our normal approach. The assessor travels to the driver’s normal base and the assessment is carried out in the vehicle the employee uses for work, on roads that reflect their typical driving. It removes travel time for your team and produces a more representative assessment.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver nationally, across the whole of the United Kingdom. Assessments are carried out at your own site in the vehicle the employee drives for work, so wherever your drivers are based we come to them. Tell us where your drivers are based and we will confirm what we can deliver at each of your operating locations, and when.
Can you assess company cars and vans?
Yes. We assess company cars, car-derived vans, panel vans and light commercial vehicles, as well as employees using their own vehicles for work. Where a driver operates more than one vehicle type, the assessment is normally carried out in the vehicle they spend most of their working time in.
Do you provide ongoing fleet programmes?
Yes — ongoing programmes are the core of what we do. The route in is an initial group of drivers, followed by a recurring arrangement: new starters assessed as they join, targeted development where assessment findings identify a need, post-incident referrals as required, and periodic reassessment. Corporate programmes are structured around your driver numbers, locations and requirements.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing starts with the Fleet Driver Baseline Assessment Day at £595 + VAT, which covers up to three drivers at one operating site. Ongoing fleet programmes are priced per contracted driver per year — Managed at £120 + VAT and Complete at £240 + VAT — with a separate one-off baseline implementation charge of £169 + VAT per existing contracted driver. Full published pricing is on our pricing page.
What does the Baseline Assessment Day include?
A Foresight Driver Assessor attends one of your sites and assesses up to three drivers, each for approximately 90 minutes on-road in their own work vehicle. You receive an individual written report and Low, Medium or High risk classification for every driver assessed, recommended management actions and a management summary. Standard travel within our normal service area is included. The fee is £595 + VAT whether one, two or three drivers attend, because it reserves the day’s assessment capacity.
What is the difference between Managed and Complete?
Managed covers the ongoing administration of driver risk: records, classifications, quarterly management summaries, account coordination and scheduling, with included new-starter and post-incident assessment allowances. Complete adds the development side — a targeted driver development allowance, a reassessment allowance, licence-check administration and an annual Driver Risk Evidence Pack. Both run for 12 months.
We have more than 50 drivers. What then?
Standard published pricing covers straightforward fleets of 10 to 50 contracted drivers. Above that we build the programme around your operation — driver numbers, sites, shift patterns and deployment timescales — and set it out in a written proposal. The assessment framework and the reporting are the same whether you run 50 drivers or 500.
How do the included allowances work?
Percentage allowances are calculated on contracted headcount and round down to whole drivers, so 20% of a 17-driver fleet is three drivers. Each allowance is a separate pool — using a new-starter assessment does not reduce your post-incident, development or reassessment allowance. Allowances reset each programme year and are an entitlement to an included service rather than a guarantee of immediate attendance.
When do reports arrive?
Individual driver reports are normally within 2 working days of the assessment. Where a Baseline Assessment Day or a batch of assessments has been delivered, the management summary is normally within 3 working days of the final assessment. Findings we consider high risk are escalated promptly to your authorised contact rather than held for the next scheduled report.
Is there travel cost on top?
Standard travel within our normal service area is included. Requirements outside our normal service area may be quoted separately. We will tell you before anything is booked.
Does an assessment make our organisation compliant?
No single service does that. Employers have responsibilities to manage work-related health and safety risks, and professional driver assessment and development can form part of a wider approach to managing occupational road risk — alongside vehicle maintenance, journey planning, policy, licence checking and incident review. What a Foresight programme gives you is the assessment, the risk records, the reporting and the follow-up evidence of how the driver element is being managed.
