Safeguarding on off site visits with 'Visit
Adviser’
An exciting and innovative opportunity for those of you and your
colleagues who own an iphone. Cornwall Learning has developed
an app called Visit Adviser which creates a
planner customised to your upcoming visit.
The app takes a few minutes to lead you through a series of
questions related to your visit. It then creates a PDF which is an
aide-memoire to your planning. This is then available on your
phone and can also be emailed to you, or air printed if you have
that facility.
It also generates a final week set of checks pushed daily to
your calendar to make sure the essential safety elements are
covered. If you work with trainees or New Teachers, please
direct them to this app to help them plan their first school trips
safely.
As far as we know this is the first app of this kind developed
in the UK. It is available to download from the Apple app
store free of charge on your iphone. Just search for
‘Visit Adviser’.
We hope you will find it useful, ensuring visits are safe:
if you do, please leave a review at the app store.
Pupils enjoy 'amazing' week of outdoor
activities
Pupils from Class 6W at Illogan School began the new term with
an 'amazing' team-building week at Porthpean outdoor education
centre.
Thirty children from Illogan School had an 'amazing'
team-building week at Porthpean outdoor education centre.
The Class 6W trip was led by teacher Julie Webber, supported by
teaching assistant Jackie Gainey and learning mentor Tania
Blakemore.
Activities included canoeing and sailing at Fowey, high ropes,
climbing, archery and mountain biking.
The children also spent a day on the beach exploring the
coastline and kayaking.
Mrs Webber said: "The children really pushed themselves and were
most enthusiastic. When choosing a word to describe the week, the
class said it was 'amazing'."
The camp is a centre of excellence for outdoor pursuits and is
part of Cornwall Council's Learning Outdoors education scheme.
