Educational Visits Co-ordinator (EVC) - Training and Guidance

This course is aimed at individuals that organise school trips. It provides a practical overview of what needs to be considered when planning and delivering school trips, both in the UK and abroad.

The training course covers aspects of the law relating to educational visits, risk assessments of visits and administrative requirements associated with off-site activities.

As part of their obligations, schools must have an Educational Visits Co-ordinator (EVC) in post and ensure that they have been suitably trained.

The Department for Education has published updated guidance to help schools understand their obligations when undertaking educational off-site activities and excursions. Please follow the link below to access the guidance:

 

Schools will:

  • be compliant with legislation in relation to off-site activities

Participants will:

  • have greater knowledge, confidence, and ability to act as an EVC
  • have increased competence in risk assessing and managing risks associated with school trips

All school staff responsible for school visits
