Educational visits coordinator training

Learning outside the classroom has always been an integral part of children’s education, providing the opportunity to develop key personal and social skills. 

The role of the Educational Visits Coordinator (EVC) is to help the school fulfil its health and safety obligations for off-site school visits by being involved in the planning and management of all educational visits.

This full day workshop supports EVCs in their roles by covering the legal and practical procedures required of their position, and providing the information that establishments need to manage off-site visits.

Course content 

The course is for newly appointed EVCs and covers:
