The School Travel Forum – complete assurance for teachers
We’re an Assured Member of the School Travel Forum (STF), meaning our safety procedures and Safety Management Systems are independently audited every year.
We have also been awarded the prestigious Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge for our commitment to managing safety and delivering the highest quality teaching and learning experiences on school trips.
This Quality Badge is endorsed by The Outdoor Education Advisors Panel and means that you can book your next school trip with confidence, meet your due diligence and reduce the amount of external provider paperwork required.
