chool trips are among the most rewarding parts of a student’s school experience but they come with complex planning demands. While trip providers design engaging and enriching experiences, the resulting itineraries often vary in format and structure. ETI360 helps schools bring clarity to this diversity by standardizing all itineraries into structured, minute-by-minute plans that improve safety, learning alignment, and logistical oversight.

SO 31031:2024 is the first international standard built specifically for youth and school travel. It offers a practical framework for managing travel risks—from supervision ratios and safeguarding to emergency planning and stakeholder communication. But knowing what the standard says and embedding it into real-world trips are two different challenges. This post unpacks what ISO 31031 covers, how it differs from previous risk approaches, and how ETI360 helps schools translate it into safer, smarter, and more educationally valuable travel programs.
