We support teachers, youth workers and others with organising school trips and visits by:
- Making sure trips comply with the council’s duty of care for the health and safety of children and young people
- Making sure that policy and procedures are followed
- Providing advice, information and other support.
Notification forms
Forms and other documents that you will need for organising a trip can be downloaded from our EVOLVE system (external link).
