From risk assessments to weather plans and overnight supervision, this episode explores the unglamorous but essential planning that makes school trips safe, inclusive, and successful.

We unpack why rigorous preparation, staff training, and accessibility planning are more important than ever, especially when outdoor learning involves adventure or residential experiences.
