RASAMI BRITISH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, BANGKOK

EYFS – EDUCATIONAL VISITS AND OFF-SITE ACTIVITIES

This is an appendix to the “Educational Visits and Off-Site

Activities Policy”

This policy, which applies to the whole school inclusive of the EYFS Stage, is in support of the health
and safety policy and the individual health and safety assessments. This policy is publicly available on
the school’s website. On request a copy may be obtained from the school’s office

As part of our curriculum the children are taken for local walks, visits off the premises. Permission will
be sought for children to be included in such outings. Children must be kept safe on outings.

Before undertaking any outing, a full risk assessment must be undertaken, which includes an
assessment of the required adult: child ratios, and must take into account the nature of the outing,
when deciding the ratios.

The child’s parents must give prior written permission for the child to take part in outings.
The EYFS staff will inform parents whether a school vehicle, private passenger vehicle or public
transport will be used. Records must be kept about vehicles in which children are transported,
including insurance details and a list of named drivers. We would not consider private vehicles such as
parent’s cars to be acceptable forms of transport.
When taking a child on such a trip, outing or special event:
• RBIS Bangkok will adhere to all child/carer ratios
• Staff members will divide the children into small groups

• Staff will take a register, a first aid kit and contact numbers with them
• Staff use a designated mobile phone.
• Staff will take anything that is deemed necessary for the comfort of the trip
• All children will wear RBIS school uniform
• The register will be taken before setting off, on arrival, halfway through the visit, before

departure and again on arrival at the school
• The trip file, held in the School Office is updated before departure containing details of the trip
and a copy of the school’s and venue’s risk assessments.

We actively encourage the children to go on school outings, the educational benefits can enhance the
curriculum and be of great benefit to the children. Also it gives them the opportunity to undergo
experiences not available in the school. Outings help to develop a child’s investigative skills and
independence.

Senior staff
Senior staff must ensure the health and safety of everyone in the group including themselves and act
appropriately.
