Plan a school trip
Risk assessment, consent, staff ratios and money collected, approved before anyone books.
- Get the trip approved by the head (Headteacher signs off)
- Write the risk assessment
- Check staff ratios and first aid cover
- Book transport and the venue
- Send letters and collect consent and medical forms
- Collect payments and voluntary contributions
- Get medicines and care plans for pupils who need them. Most people forget this: Inhalers and EpiPens left at school are the most common trip problem
- Approve the trip on the local authority system (Educational visits coordinator signs off)
- Take the register at every move
