An Educational Visits Coordinator is a member of establishment staff appointed to coordinate all visits and with the status to effect change and be the focus of good practice.
Schools should appoint an educational visits coordinator and make sure they have the training they need. The head teacher has this duty if there is no coordinator.
Local authorities or academy trust outdoor education advisers can advise on appointing and training coordinators.
The coordinator works with the local outdoor education adviser to help their colleagues in schools to assess and manage risks.
