The school outing first aid kit provides portable first aid provision for educational visits, day trips, and field trips. The compact format is designed for teacher carry during off-site activities, covering the cuts, grazes, stings, and minor injuries typical of school outings.
Compliance Summary: This kit provides portable first aid for educational visits away from school premises. Trip leaders should carry appropriate first aid provision and hold a current first aid certificate. Check kit contents before each outing.
Is this different from the school trips and travel kit?
Both serve similar purposes. This outing kit focuses on day-trip provision in a compact format. The school trips and travel kit provides slightly broader coverage for longer excursions including residential visits. Choose based on the typical duration and complexity of your school's off-site activities.
Should every trip supervisor carry a kit?
At minimum, each trip group should have access to first aid provision. For trips where the group splits into smaller parties, each party should have its own kit. This is standard practice for educational visits and is expected during OFSTED inspection of off-site activity planning.
