All advisers deliver training to EVCs (Educational visit coordinators) and provide schools and academies with advice and support.

National Guidance focus

All VESN advisers follow National Guidance about school visits.

It is strongly recommend to VESN covered schools that EVC and SLT members should undertake the OEAP “Responding to  a School Visit Emergency” Course.

The VESN network is only available to schools working with the advisers listed below.

How VESN works with schools

Schools will receive their local VESN details and information with emergency contacts and out of hours details from their adviser.

This allows schools, working with their adviser, to access this network, so that should an emergency occur, the VESN network can ensure that schools have access to appropriate advice and support.

Please note: this website provides information about VESN but no direct contact with a schools adviser. Please speak to your local outdoor education advisor if you have not yet received your VESN pack.

If you have any questions, please contact VESN »
