Key Stage is a founding member of the School Travel Forum (STF), a group of leading school tour operators that promote good practice and safety in school travel.
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.
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 has the support of the ASCL, ATL, NAHT, NUT and Voice. It is welcomed by the Outdoor Education Advisors Panel (OEAP) and the DCSF, and NASUWT advises members wishing to organise school trips to use companies that have this type of scheme.
