321 continue to be School Travel Forum members and holders of the Learning Outside of the Classroom Badge! @STF_Forum
Here at 321 we are delighted that we have passed the Annual Safety Management Audit. This means we continue to be a member of the School Travel Forum since our initial membership in 2014.
Teachers using an STF Assured Member can be secure knowing that their travel partner:
-
Understands and facilitates the needs of educational travel
-
Manages safety effectively
-
Offers fair terms and conditions, and the best financial security
-
Is fully inspected every year by independent experts
From its beginning the STF initiative won the support of the ASCL, ATL, NAHT, NUT and Voice. It was welcomed by the Outdoor Education Advisors Panel (OEAP) and the DCSF, and NASUWT advised members wishing to organise school trips to use companies that had this type of scheme.
The STF standards have been adopted as the benchmark for all companies operating Study, Sports and Cultural Tours by the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom’s Quality Badge award. This provides for the first time a national accreditation combining the essential elements of provision – learning and safety – into one easily recognisable and trusted award.
