Fieldtrip Chaperone Training for Schools

The duties and responsibilities of a chaperone are vital to the success and safety of any fieldtrip.

The chaperone’s primary responsibility is to help ensure the safety of students.

The SOS ThreeSixty Chaperone Training Program is a comprehensive safety training module to prepare chaperones to manage a variety of challenges that may arise on local, overnight, and international trips.

The focus is on avoiding problems through careful planning and proactive management.

Your school’s chaperones will be much better prepared for all trips and will be safety leaders – equipped to protect children from external threats while ensure sound internal abuse prevention practices.

A review of – and suggested enhancements to – your school’s chaperone manual is also included.

client comments

“We relied on SOS ThreeSixty to work with us on our first chaperone manual. Their breadth of experience and understanding of our school culture was incredibly helpful in finalizing a document that was practical, actionable and would protect our students and our school. SOS ThreeSixty also conducted a chaperone training for our teachers, who are now better prepared to address safety related incidents that may arise when they are off-campus with our students."

“Risk management and comprehensive HR policies are critical to protect the reputation and sustainability of all schools. Partnering with SOS ThreeSixty will help ensure that a culture of safety is always top-of-mind in your community to protect your students and staff.”
