The full-day face to face External Visit Coordinator course is ideal for newly appointed External Visit Coordinators who require an understanding of their roles and responsibilities when monitoring and endorsing off-site visits and outdoor education activities, within their school or educational setting.

The course is also suitable for existing External Visit Coordinators seeking a refresh or update on outdoor education and assesses:

• the barriers and benefits behind off-site visits,
• legal duties,
• planning for the unexpected and
• evaluating off-site visits within your setting.

It will also include a session on the EEC health and safety website, the site used by schools throughout Somerset for its risk assessment and external visit application and endorsement process.
