Is there first aid on site?
Our health and safety policy lays out our commitment to safety when organising our operations. This is achieved in part through our supplier audits, which are regularly completed to School Travel Forum guidelines, to make sure that our transport, hotel and excursion suppliers are in line with national safety standards and are appropriately documented. We also believe the travel insurance policy we offer is one of the best available.
