Quick answer: Permissions, ratios, medical forms and the questions to ask any tour operator.
A good school trip is mostly paperwork done early. Here is the checklist we work through with every school.
- Management approval and a written itinerary
- Parent consent forms with medical details and emergency contacts
- A ratio of at least one adult to every ten students
- Separate rooms for boys and girls, with a teacher on each floor
- A first-aid kit and the nearest hospital on every route
- Vegetarian and allergy-safe meal plans
Questions to ask any tour operator
- Are your escorts trained in student safety and first aid?
- Are the vehicles insured and the drivers verified?
- What happens if a student falls sick?
