MEET EVA!
YOUR
EDUCATIONAL
VISITS AI
ASSISTANT
How should I talk to eva!?
eva! can converse with you in natural
language. You’ll get the best results
from asking real questions rather
than searching for terms like you
would in a search engine like google.
Can you give me an example?
Yes. Instead of typing ‘ratios school
trip france’ try asking ‘how many
members of staff will I need for
a visit to france with 43 year 6
students including one with a 1:1
support assistant?’
eva! Educational Visits Assistant® is
designed for busy SLT, EVCs and Visit
Leaders.
Use eva! to check your knowledge, or research the
requirements for specific types of activities, to guide
and inform your planning. eva! will search and
summarise national legislation and guidance related
to outdoor education and educational visits in an
instant, so you can apply this to your own context.
“
carefully trained by
educational Visits advisers
to give you accurate
answers in an instant
eva! differs from generative AI tools like Chat GPT; it
is a standalone AI assistant trained on a very specific
set of legislation and guidance. It is developed and
trained by Educational Visits Advisers at EVOLVE
Advice and is updated immediately when guidance
changes as well as being monitored daily for quality
control. This means that you can have confidence that
the answers it gives you are accurate.

Since eva! only provides information based on the
data it is trained on, it won’t give you advice specific to
your school or group’s needs and it won’t have access
to your school’s policies, so use it to sense check,
refresh your knowledge and search for information.
For contextual advice, speak to your EVC or your
Educational Visits Adviser.
EVOLVE Advice launched eva! Educational Visits
Assistant® in September this year following months of
development and testing with EVCs, Visit Leaders and
Outdoor Education Advisers.
eva! is available to all EVOLVE Advice
clients via their EVOLVE system. Look
for the ‘eva! button on your EVOLVE
homepage.
