Estimates of the information requested are shown in the table. It is not possible to identify school minibuses in the road injury accident data collection system. However, it is possible to identify school pupil casualties in minibuses, during journeys to and from school, and also in other types of journey. Both these categories are included in the table along with children of school age, classified as school pupils, but not necessarily travelling in a school minibus on a school activity.
