Decision support for school trips

Trip decisions need
structured evidence.

Most trip risk is already visible. Structure turns it into evidence a leadership team can review and act on.

The framework

ETI360’s 3-Tier Risk Framework.

Built from field experience and aligned to international standards, ISO 31031 among them. Standing organizational evidence, per-trip evidence, and live field evidence compound in that order: document the organization annually, document each trip, equip the field.

Tier One · Annual

Organizational Baseline

A documented review of organizational readiness, applied to schools and to trip providers: policies, roles, evidence, and standing arrangements across ten areas, mapped against ISO 31031.

Tier Two · Every trip

Trip Risk Review

A consistent set of documents for the school's review and decision, from the trip overview to the information parents receive.

Tier Three · During and after

Dynamic Risk Operations

The working views for the days the group is away, and the record the trip carries home into next year's planning.

The work

The documents.

Real rendered pages from our reference school, Harborview International School — fictitious by design, so every page can be shown in full. The documents open as complete PDFs; the live operations screens are shown as working views.

Who we work with

The same framework. Two operational realities.

For schools

Governance and oversight.

When a governing board, safeguarding lead, or insurer reviews a trip, they ask for specific evidence: organizational standing, a trip-specific risk assessment, and a clear sign-off record. ETI360 structures that evidence into a governance record built the same way, every time — prepared for the school’s review and decision.

For providers

Proposal and operations.

Schools ask providers to demonstrate governance before they book. ETI360 gives providers a structured way to produce the same organizational and trip evidence schools review, to a consistent standard for every departure — the evidence pack a school expects, produced through a documented process and ready for their review.

About

An advisory firm in the governance of educational travel.

ETI360 is an advisory firm working in the governance of educational travel. The firm advises international schools and trip providers on structuring the evidence, intelligence, and documentation that trip governance rests on.

ETI360 works in trip governance — risk assessment, provider review, emergency documentation, and post-trip review. We do not cover safeguarding, on-campus health and safety, or liability management; those are distinct disciplines served by other specialist firms.

The work is delivered through structured engagements, but the output is not advice alone. It is documented, defensible evidence that supports decisions across the trip’s full life.
