Safety & Security
STUDYTRIPS is fully committed to ensuring the safety of your group whilst you are on tour. Under the guidance of our external H&S experts we have developed a comprehensive system of safety checks that we carry out on the transport, accommodation and visits we provide. This helps to free you from that area of responsibility and reduces the amount of paperwork required. We are also pleased to provide support and information needed to complete the LEA forms and visa applications if required.

Safety on School Visits. A Major Initiative to Help Teachers, Schools and Colleges
The School Travel Forum is a group of leading school tour operators who promote good practice and safety in school travel. All Assured Members of the STF adhere to a rigorous Code of Practice and Safety Management Standards and are externally verified each year by suitably qualified independent Health and Safety professionals.
Choosing an STF Assured Member ensures teachers, schools and colleges are meeting the requirements of DCSF and Scottish Executive guidelines and that they can delegate important tasks with confidence.
During the course of developing the STF Code of Practice, and in addition to liaising with the DCSF, advice has been sought from all leading educational Unions and Associations. The STF initiative is welcomed by the Outdoor Education Advisors Panel (OEAP) and the DCSF. It has the support of the ASCL, NAHT, ATL, NUT, ‘Voice – The union for education professionals’ and the NASUWT advises members wishing to
organise school trips to use companies that have this type of scheme.
Details of the School Travel Forum Code of Practice are available from www.schooltravelforum.com
