Organising a school trip, or supervising one, can involve a lot of big responsibilities. After all, supervisors on school trips will be acting in loco parentis (in the role of parents), ensuring that everyone has a good and educational time and importantly, stays safe.
To help you to properly prepare for your role as a supervisor on a school trip, there are certain things you may need to take with you. Each type of trip has its own list of supplies, tools and equipment, but there are some basics that you or one of your colleagues should definitely be packing for every trip.
Each member of the school trip supervisory team should have with them a mobile phone and extra cash for emergency situations, along with emergency contact information. This could include a list of parent's telephone numbers, the number for the school, the local authority and the emergency services, and each team member should have one.
Some of your students may need to take medication during the trip, so you will need to keep a record of this too. To help you to monitor the children's medical needs and react properly in the event of an emergency situation, you may also need a list of the medication taken by children with allergies, asthma and other conditions.
At least one person on the school trip should carry with them a 'hot file', which is a file containing all crucial documents, information and forms relating to the trip, such as insurance details or the items listed previously.
This isn't all that may need to be carried by team members, as it is just as important to have another file or container for medication and first aid supplies, emergency supplies of food and drink, and class supplies and educational equipment.
