Educational trips and visits
Salford City Council positively promotes the active involvement of young people in educational trips and visits.
They can provide a valuable opportunity for young people to participate in positive experiences which are not available to them in the classroom or youth centre.
The benefits of educational trips and visits include the opportunity to:
- Enhance learning and raise achievement
- Develop independence
- Develop team work
- Extend, enrich and support the curriculum
- Develop resourcefulness
- Develop problem solving skills
- Face challenges
- Question values
- Raise confidence and self-esteem
- Develop social skills and environmental awareness
- Extend personal horizons
The health and safety of pupils participating in educational trips and visits is of paramount importance. Planning and control of visits must be exercised rigorously with commitment and clear management to meet the increased expectations and legal demands now in force.
