LOtC Quality Badge

The Department for Education advises that when organising off-site educational visits, a school should use a provider that holds the LOtC Quality Badge. This is the only accreditation that covers safety management and the quality of learning provided.

 

Achieving the LOtC Quality Badge is an essential requirement for School Travel Forum membership.
