SETO QUALITY STANDARDS

SETO is Committed to Building Confidence in Education Outside the Classroom.

SETO Quality Standards are intended to provide national industry standards and a model for compliance on risk and safety management that can be referenced and relied on by schools when choosing a Tour Operator to partner with. 

We recognise that schools, parents and education departments are increasingly seeking ways to evaluate and understand the organisations they are partnering with and SETO wishes to develop a clear set of standards that are attainable, useful and easy to implement while raising the level of service delivery in student educational travel. 

The health and safety of those students and teachers that travel with SETO members will always remain as a number one priority. Although travel comes with inherent risk, our members' staunch commitment to safety is resolute.

SQS Foundations

A Director's declaration of compliance with the foundational layer is mandatory to gain membership as a Tour Operator member of SETO.  This includes adherence to SETO's Guiding Principles.

SQS Domains

SETO is working to build on the SQS Foundations to create modules within each domain. This allows for sector specific elevtive modules such as expedition management or snow sports where members can demonstrate compliance. Initially this will be self-assessed. 

SQS Domains are currently under development.
