Events: Taking the fear out of school trips

Educational Visits Seminar on Wenesday 16th March 2011

Too many students are missing out on the benefits of school trips because of red tape, and teachers’ fear of legal action should something go wrong. TripSafely.com has the answer.

It’s no secret that students of all ages gain valuable learning experiences when they get out of the classroom and into the wider world. But too often, teachers are afraid to organise even the shortest visit outside of school. TripSafely.com decided it was time to give teachers and education providers a real, workable solution to their problem.
