Educational Visits
Red Kite Learning Trust has a centralised procedure and policy for the delivery of off-site visits.
There is one external consultant available to the Trust which Educational Visits Coordinators (EVCs) can contact for any matters relating to off-site visits. Training sessions are available for any visit leaders who wish to organise their own visit. These sessions cover the use of Exeant (the centralised online approval system), the policy, individual school operating procedures and using the OEAP National Guidelines. In addition, Exeant allows the Governing bodies, Heads, and EVCs an overview of all activities which ensures all relevant persons are up to date with arrangements for visits and have a good source of information on which to base decisions relating to visits.
