Offsite Activity
This area is designed to be an aide to Education Visits Coordinators (EVC's), Teachers and Youth workers with the planning and implementation of safe trips and visits involving young people.










Who undertakes Offsite Activities?
These are regularly undertaken by educational establishments including schools and youth and community groups. They are commonly refered to as 'trips and visits'.

When do they take place?
For schools this could be during the school day (curriculum time), after school including evenings and weekends (extra curricular) or as part of holiday periods as optional activities. Youth groups and other organisations undertake a range of activity as part of the curriculum during the day, evenings, weekends and holiday periods.

What are Offsite Activities?
They are any type of activity away from the school or youth club. Activity could include local visits, residential and overseas visits, adventure activity, field trips and sports activity including fixtures.
