Safety
Safety is always paramount in our trip planning and delivery. As parents ourselves, we’re very aware of the responsibility of being entrusted with other people’s children.
Our Health and Safety Plan deals with every aspect of our operations and training. Hazard identification is carried out for every new activity and a RAMS (Risk Analysis and Management System) form is prepared. This process has been audited both by a Department of Conservation approved Safety Auditor and as part of our Qualmark® accreditation
Our teacher-facilitators are trained in safe practice and all have First Aid qualifications. The suppliers we use are fully qualified and experienced in their specialties and where available we choose to work with Qualmarked® operators. Their sound safety records are further guaranteed by the Qualmark®, accreditation process.
Qualmark®
Qualmark® is New Zealand tourism's
official mark of quality.
All accommodation and tourism businesses carrying the Qualmark® have been independently assessed as professional and trustworthy, so you can book and buy with confidence.
Your school has to sign The Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students . This is very clear about where, how and with whom secondary students can travel away from their home-stay families.
Learning Journeys has its own, very detailed Health and Safety plans. Our Qualmark status guarantees that and so does the fact that lots of schools already trust us with their international students (Tell your parents and international deans about this part. It will make a serious difference to how they react when you ask if you can do some of the things suggested above).
