Questions to ask Providers of EOTC programmes

Schools use a range of providers to support their EOTC programmes. It can be a challenge for schools to judge the quality of those providers. Measures available to schools to help determine a quality provider include checking out the following:

• a safety plan, externally audited and approved and available on request
• all activity leaders have relevant, current skills and qualifications, first aid certificates, and appropriate driving licences
• all activity leaders have relevant, logged, recent experience
• provide Referees? contact details
• quality assurance accreditation, such as: OutdoorsMark, or Qualmark
• they are an LEOTC provider contracted by the Ministry of Education.

Schools may ask you questions related to these areas when they are considering contracting you to provide EOTC programmes. For more information visit TKI EOTC
