UniLife Schools

Safeguarding & Compliance.

Everything your leadership team needs to say yes. Planning the trip is the easy half. This page covers the half that gets it approved.

Built for the approval process

Every school trip has to get past an EVC, a headteacher and often a governing body before a single student signs up. We know what they ask for, because we provide it on every trip we run. Here is what comes as standard when you travel with UniLife Schools.

🛡️

Financial protection as standard

Every trip is ATOL protected (12149) and ABTA protected (Y6763). If anything happens to us or to a supplier, your school's money and your students' trip are protected. Certificates are available for your records and your governors' paperwork.

📋

Risk assessment support

Full risk assessment support for every element of your itinerary: destination, accommodation, transport and activities. We provide documentation in a format you can drop straight into your school's own EVC process, whatever system your school uses.

🤝

Safeguarding-aware staff

Trip staff are briefed on safeguarding before every departure, with a clear code of conduct on tour and defined escalation routes. We work to your school's staff ratio requirements, including for students under 16.

📞

24/7 on-tour support

You have one named Account Manager before you travel and a 24 hour emergency line while you are away. If something changes mid-trip, from a delayed flight to a poorly student, there is always someone on the end of the phone.

📅

Payments that respect families

Low deposits to confirm the trip, with the balance spread across the academic year. No family should be priced out by a payment schedule, and no organiser should have to chase parents against an unrealistic deadline.

One point of contact throughout

The person who quotes your trip is the person who manages it. No call centres and no handovers, so nothing gets lost between your first enquiry and the return coach home.

The approval pack

One bundle with everything your headteacher and governors will want to see: financial protection certificates, a sample risk assessment, insurance details and our company information. Ask your Account Manager, or request it now and we will send it over.
