Off-Site Safety for School Trip Leaders and Designated Contacts
We train educators in curriculum, safeguarding and first aid… Therefore, good practice would be to ensure staff are trained in running off-site trips
Lessons learned dealing with real incidents on trips make it very clear that the pressures put on schools during a trip emergency can be extreme but the burden is significantly less if staff have been specifically trained.
This not only includes the trip leaders & assistants, but also the “base/designated contacts”.
This one day training is a practically based course which deals with active risk management and allows the sharing of good practice together with opportunities to raise issues directly related to your setting.

Who Should Attend
This training course is predominantly aimed at educators who plan, evaluate risk, and lead, assist or attend school trips in an international setting. School trips can be defined as an expedition, overnight sports tournament, adventurous journey, curriculum, community service, day trips. The course would also benefit outdoor education providers in Asia who are new to the industry or who wish to gain an understanding of the safety standards International Schools are aiming to adopt.
