The School Travel Forum

As part of our commitment to safety for schools, NST has played a major role in helping establish the School Travel Forum, a major new initiative which helps you deliver your obligations as an organiser of an educational visit.

Q. What is the School Travel Forum?

The School Travel Forum (STF) is a group of leading school tour operators that promote good practice and safety in school travel.

Q. What are members of the School Travel Forum required to do?

All Full Members of the STF adhere to a rigorous Code of Practice and Safety Management Standards that are externally verified each year by Argent Health & Safety, the UK’s leading Health and Safety Consultancy specialising in Travel.

Q. Who Supports the School Travel Forum?

During the course of developing the STF Code of Practice, and in addition to liaising with the DfES*, advice has been sought from all leading educational Unions and Associations. The STF initiative has the support of the ASCL, ATL, NAHT, NUT and Voice. It is welcomed by the Outdoor Education Advisors Panel (OEAP) and the DfES, and NASUWT advises members wishing to organise school trips to use companies that have this type of scheme.

Supporters include:
