Answer
While my Department is responsible for regulating the Approved Driver Instructor (ADI) industry, through the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA), it does not employ ADIs in the capacity of delivering driving instruction. The Department has no remit to suspend their services or determine when they might return to work.
The Registrar for ADIs/ AMIs in the DVA has advised driving instructors of this position and signposted them to the latest public health advice on social distancing and safe working practices.
