1 Educational Visit - checklist To be read with DCC Outdoor Education, Visits and Off-Site Activities Health & Safety Policy - Devon County Council Adopted by Governors Sue Haywood Date Review Date (Every other year) Autumn 2014 Policy to be distributed to:- (ie. staff departments, etc.) Policy/Procedure checked by/date All Staff Debbie Stokes Jan 2013 Pathfield School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment
2 Educational visits off-site including Residential visits Planning checklist for visits and off-site activity. Ensure timeline is sufficient for approval for trip to be taken to Governors meeting committee or full governors. This checklist provides a summary of the main points which should be considered by the party leader when planning an off-site visit. The checklist may be used as an aide- memoire by the party leader and will be part of the formal record for the Head teacher and Governing Body to decide whether to give approval for a visit. The checklist is designed to help the Head teacher, EVC and the party leader ensure: The health safety and well being of young people and staff including volunteers Young people gain the maximum educational benefit from the visit or activity Effective management, planning, organisation and leadership Compliance with policies and statutory requirements APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE CHECKLIST (See Appendix 1) Prior to the actual date of the trip Approval in Principle should be sought from the Governors. The party leader should prepare the following for consideration by the Head teacher and Governing Body 1. Party leader 2. Pupils involved 3. Purpose 4. Location Is there a clearly defined party leader, sufficiently experienced and competent to assess the risks and manage the proposed visit or activity? Which group of pupils are to be invited to participate in the proposed visit or activity? Is there a clearly identified purpose for the whole programme and any of its constituent parts, appropriate to the age and ability of the group? Is the proposed location of the visit suitable for the activity being done and appropriate for the group?
3 TIMELINE The party leader is to establish what type of trip, which pupils will participate and where trip is to take place including approximate costing. A preliminary visit should take place at the centre/site. The party leader then is to seek approval in principle from Head teacher and Governing Body. Use the checklist for Approval in Principle. Approval in Principle is given. A risk assessment should be drawn up using information gathered at the preliminary visit. Detailed budget should be prepared. Commence communication with the parents. Letters should be sent detailing the trip, activities, accommodation and costs. Dates for parent meetings with party leader and Governor should be set. Final numbers of pupils should be agreed and costing should be finalised. Consent letters from parents should be received. Submit paperwork to Governors for approval for trip to take place at curriculum Governors meeting, which should be preferably a month before the trip takes place. Briefing for staff and pupils. Note: Ideally, the party leader should ensure enough time is allowed to put into place all the required paperwork to be presented to the Curriculum Governors meeting, at least one month before the trip takes place. Whilst the above timeline is considered best practice, there are times when the School is given opportunities at short notice to attend specific events, i.e. Calvert Trust, Foxes Academy, etc. Where a previous visit has taken place, risk assessments are up to date and the headteacher is assured that all checks are adequate, therefore the timeline may be shortened and the Governors can allow the trip to proceed. TRIP TAKES PLACE Within 2 weeks of the trip, evaluation of trip and sharing of outcomes. Financial paperwork should be completed. After all approvals have been received, the form is to be returned to responsible staff member in case of any additional comments relating to pupils of trip that may have been added. Once these changes have been actioned please return to School Trips Co-ordinator.
