The benefits of educational visits and learning outside the classroom are universally acclaimed but the sensational reporting of isolated tragedies has helped create an apparently confusing raft of comment, legislation, regulation and advice. This relaxed but highly informative course will help build faith and confidence in off -site work and your ability to plan, lead or simply accompany all types of venture. The course is applicable to schools, colleges and voluntary organisations and for all client age groups. Note: this course aims to complement local guidance and regulation, not to replace it. Reduce potential stress for organisers, leaders and accompanying adults. Make more sense of the vast range of official advice and regulation. Provide practical ideas, resources and tips on organisation and content. Give examples and templates of official forms and letters.
