Governors Educational Visits Induction
The Leadership e-Learning Academy from EVOLVE Advice offers courses created to meet the specific needs of senior leaders in schools and Trusts. While some Heads are also the Educational Visits Coordinator (EVC) within their school, others are further removed from the day-to-day management of educational visits. Despite this, they have oversight and responsibility for the safety and competent management of educational visits, often being the individual responsible for approving visits via EVOLVE or another visit management system.
Our Leadership e-Learning Academy courses are developed and overseen by EVOLVE Advice’s Educational Visits Advisers. The content is based on years of experience supporting heads and senior leaders and a thorough knowledge of the relevant legislation, regulations and National Guidance.

It is ideal as an induction for new governors but would also benefit experienced governors as a refresher programme.
