After the Trip

After the Trip

After the trip, the organising Field Trip Leader must:

  • evaluate the trip, by completing the Trip Reflection form
  • evaluate, if requested, the performance of those who have accompanied the trip
  • if the trip represented bias towards partisan political issues, ensure that there is a debrief or other educational activity or lesson planned to redress that bias
  • if an accident or incident occurred, ensure that the incident is properly recorded and reported to the Director. The Director, Wellbeing Leader or Designated Safeguarding Lead will ensure that the incident is reported to the appropriate regulatory authority, such as the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), if necessary
  • report any behavioural incident during the trip. The Director should be kept informed of any interventions or intended consequences of a disciplinary nature.

Reconciling Expenditure

The Field Trip Leader is responsible for returning any unused monies to the school office along with any receipts for cash spent. If a personal credit card has been used, transaction vouchers must be submitted with a reimbursement claim. The organising teacher/group leader is also responsible for producing a schedule of all expenditure on the trip.
