What does good, defensible risk management actually look like for youth and school travel?
School trips are an exciting and rewarding part of any educational experience. However, they are inherently more risky than activities on site. If an incident occurs on one of your programs, the new ISO 31031 international standard for risk management for youth and school trips will be the industry benchmark by which your planning, processes, risk systems and staff risk management training will be assessed.
