Planning safe excursions
Lots of school-based programs include off-campus excursions to visit local businesses or partners. This can be a great way to engage participants in hands-on, experiential learning.
Each school will have different requirements for excursions, and will often have their own processes and templates. We have provided some options below, but we recommend discussing excursions early with your school partners to make sure your plan meets their needs.
Generally, excursions require a risk assessment and management matrix.
You will require parental permission for any off-campus excursions.
