2. All involved parties are informed of the risks and associated preventative measures in place

3. There are competent individuals carrying out the planning, organising, controlling, monitoring and reviewing of preventative and protective measures

Inspection Trips

We offer teachers to risk assess a destination first hand, this is an investment on both our part and our ground handlers part. We understand that for some destinations and in particular those that are more far flung it is the ideal way to gain first-hand knowledge of what a destination can offer your students. Such recce trip can let teacher familiar with the places and determine the suitability of visit in order to maximise the learning objective of each trip.
