Using a provider of LOtC who holds the LOtC Quality Badge gives you peace of mind that they have been assessed for their quality of risk management and their education. LOtC Quality Badge holders all have to meet a set of Quality Indicators.
The Department for Education’s guidance on Health & Safety on Educational Visits recommends that schools look for the LOtC Quality Badge when choosing external providers of educational visits. The Outdoor Education Advisers’ Panel endorse the LOtC Quality Badge and most Local Authority and Academy Trust’s Outdoor Education Advisers accept it in place of some or all of their provider checks, so using a LOtC Quality Badge holder reduces your own paperwork. Senedd Cymru endorse the advice provided by OEAP Cymru which includes using a LOtC Quality Badge holder.
Encourage all your staff to look for LOtC Quality Badge holders by displaying this flyer on your staff room wall.
