Trip governance platform

School trips, signed off properly. Every time.

One governed system for risk assessment, parental consent, staffing, and departure readiness — built by people who used to manage all of this on spreadsheets, not by engineers who've never seen a risk assessment register.

✓ RISK REVIEWED
ISO 31031-aligned
✓ CONSENT VERIFIED
One-time code, every parent
✓ READY FOR DEPARTURE
Scored live, not once

The Tuesday before departure

You know this Tuesday.

  • risk_assessment_madrid_copy.docx
  • IMG_4471.jpg (passport, blurry)
  • "did Mrs Okafor ever sign off the coach?" — WhatsApp, 11:47pm

A spreadsheet for consent. Another for risk. A folder of phone-camera passport photos. A message thread chasing six different sign-offs, the night before a flight.

SchoolTripper replaces all of it with one register — one place where every requirement, financial, safeguarding, and educational, is tracked, signed off, and auditable.

What it actually does

Built around how schools actually approve a trip.

§1 GOVERNANCE

Eight stages, the right sign-off at each

A trip moves through defined stages from Draft to Closed, with the right role required to approve at each one. Coordinators propose; Bursars and Heads approve. Nothing skips the queue.

§2 RISK

A risk register that's actually live

Every trip carries an ISO 31031-aligned risk assessment, scored across staffing, documentation, sign-off, and emergency planning — recalculated as things change, not filled in once and forgotten.

§3 CONSENT

Consent, verified properly

Parents respond through a secure, one-time-code-verified link. No open forms, no guessing whether the reply actually came from the right parent.

§4 READINESS

One score, not six spreadsheets

A single readiness score shows exactly what's outstanding before a trip can depart — and exactly who needs to act on it, today.

§5 INCIDENTS

Incidents, logged and escalated

If something happens on a trip, it's logged, escalated, and tracked through to resolution — including a defined path to Foreign Office risk review where it's needed.

§6 OVERSIGHT

A trail no one can quietly edit

Every decision — every sign-off, every override, every status change — is written to an audit log that's append-only by design.

Why we built this

Built by people who've done this job.

SchoolTripper wasn't designed by studying the trip-planning market from the outside. It was built by people who've sat in the Bursar's office the week before half-term, signing off a risk assessment for a coach trip and a flight to Madrid in the same afternoon — and got tired of doing it across four spreadsheets and a shared drive nobody could ever find anything in.

The actual lifecycle

DRAFT SUBMITTED APPROVED VIABILITY REVIEW CONFIRMED READY FOR DEPARTURE LIVE COMPLETED CLOSED

Data protection

Built for data that matters.

EU-HOSTED

Every record lives on EU infrastructure, not wherever happens to be cheapest that quarter.

ROLE-SCOPED ACCESS

A Coordinator sees what a Coordinator needs. A Bursar sees what a Bursar needs. Enforced at the database, not just hidden in the interface.

VERIFIED CONSENT

Sensitive medical and travel information is only ever submitted by a parent verified via a one-time code sent to their own registered email.

FULL AUDIT TRAIL

Every governance decision is logged permanently. Nothing can be quietly edited or deleted after the fact.
