The Quality Framework
Eight domains.
Every one grounded in evidence.
The TripTrust Quality Indicators (QI) framework defines the minimum standards a provider must demonstrate across eight domains before accreditation is granted. Each domain is derived from the documented failure patterns in our public risk casebook. This is not a checklist — it is an evidence-based accountability standard.
Document Verification
All submitted documents are assessed for authenticity, currency, and relevance. Out-of-date policies do not satisfy requirements.
Compensating Measures
Where legal requirements differ by jurisdiction, providers must demonstrate compensating controls of equivalent protection.
Assessor Sign-Off
No domain may be marked satisfactory by AI alone. Every domain requires human assessor review and a documented rationale.
Casebook Cross-Reference
Assessors are briefed on casebook incidents relevant to each domain. Known failure modes are actively tested in the review.
QI 1Risk ManagementSystematic identification, assessment, and mitigation of activity-specific risks before, during, and after every trip.
What accreditation requires
- Written activity risk assessments for all programme components
- Staff competence records and instructor qualification verification
- Emergency response procedures and rehearsal evidence
- Incident reporting and post-trip review documentation
QI 2SafeguardingPolicies, procedures, and vetting requirements that protect children from harm — including abuse, exploitation, and inappropriate contact.
What accreditation requires
- Up-to-date child safeguarding policy aligned to local law
- Criminal records checks for all staff with unsupervised access
- Designated safeguarding lead with documented training
- Whistle-blower and reporting pathway documentation
QI 3Food SafetyControls governing food sourcing, preparation, allergen management, and dietary requirements for students in provider care.
What accreditation requires
- Food safety management system (HACCP or equivalent)
- Allergen policy and communication procedures
- Evidence of supplier food safety compliance
- Staff food hygiene training records
QI 4TransportStandards for all transport arrangements including vehicle safety, driver certification, passenger management, and third-party operator vetting.
What accreditation requires
- Vehicle safety inspection records and licensing documentation
- Driver qualification and experience verification
- Third-party transport operator vetting procedures
- Student transport briefing and supervision protocols
QI 5Education QualityStandards governing the educational content and pedagogical integrity of programmes, including instructor qualifications and curriculum alignment.
What accreditation requires
- Programme learning outcomes and curriculum mapping
- Instructor subject-matter qualifications and CPD records
- Student assessment and feedback mechanisms
- Evidence of programme review and continuous improvement
QI 6Communication & GovernanceOrganisational governance, data handling, parent and school communication standards, and third-party sub-contractor accountability.
What accreditation requires
- Organisational structure and accountability documentation
- Data protection policy and processing records (GDPR or equivalent)
- Third-party sub-contractor vetting and contractual requirements
- Parent and school communication protocols
QI 7Overseas TravelCountry-specific risk assessment, consular registration, travel insurance, and health risk management for students travelling internationally.
What accreditation requires
- Destination-specific travel risk assessment using government-issued guidance
- Group travel insurance with minimum cover thresholds
- Medical and health screening procedures
- Crisis management plan including evacuation procedures
QI 8School DocumentationThe documentation a provider must supply to the contracting school to allow that school to discharge its own duty of care obligations.
What accreditation requires
- Pre-trip information pack for school review
- Parent consent and medical disclosure forms
- Emergency contact and escalation documentation
- Post-trip incident summary and near-miss reporting
Casebook Evidence
Schools cannot fulfil their duty of care without documentation from providers. QI 8 formalises this responsibility and creates an auditable record for use in any subsequent inquiry.
Compliance and Duty of Care
TripTrust accreditation does not replace a school's own due diligence obligations. It provides a verified, independently-reviewed record that a provider has met an evidence-based standard across all eight domains. In the event of an incident, accreditation status, the evidence submitted, and the assessor's documented rationale are all retained and available for disclosure to insurers, regulators, or courts. The framework is openly published and may be cited in school procurement policies, safeguarding procedures, or governance documentation.
