A must-attend day for anyone working in sales and support for educational visits.

Your essential introduction to educational visits roles and responsibilities for staff in schools; the legal and guidance framework; risk assessment requirements; approval processes and systems.

• Do you fully understand the requirements on your group/party leaders when planning their educational visits?

• Are you confident that your marketing materials and school resources are aligned with the expectations of employers and the advice of Educational Visits Advisers?
• Is your visit documentation duplicating work for school staff or could it be streamlined?

Educational Visits 101 for Providers will cover all this and more. You’ll examine school staff responsibilities around risk management, approvals, reporting, and evaluation, helping you to identify ways you can better support your school clients.

Better informed. Better able to support.

You’ll learn about waivers, contracts and consent, and find out what (and why) schools need to check about providers, including where the LOtC Quality Badge and provider forms fit in.

We’ll also take a look inside the EVOLVE system, where you’ll get a ‘schools-eye view’ of the risk-management and approvals process. You’ll see where your organisation sits within EVOLVE and Kaddi, and explore opportunities to raise your profile.

You’ll return to work with the knowledge and insight you need to more effectively support your clients.

Who should attend?

Educational Visits 101 is designed for sales and support team colleagues at providers, tour operators and other companies involved in school travel. It is also suitable for marketing teams, team leaders and anyone new to the educational visits sector.

Interactive. Informative. Value add.

This is small-group, live training led by EVOLVE Advice Educational Visits Advisers. Enjoy a blend of presentations, discussion, Q&A and interactive activities to support your learning.

You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate and network with teams from other providers in an informal learning environment.

We won’t assume any prior knowledge and there are no silly questions - this is a safe space to ask questions, challenge assumptions and learn from our experienced advisers who work with our community of around 3,000 schools.
