DCSF GUIDANCE

The DCSF guidelines relating to Health and Safety on Educational Visits state:

• Schools should ask tour operators for a copy of their safety management system.
• A safety management system should state clearly how a tour operator manages safety for all the elements of the visit they will be providing.
• The tour operator should also provide details of independent checks made by appropriate external organisations on their safety management system.
