Do we need trained first aiders on playgroup outings?

I am working with a committee of a pre-school and they have raised the following: Each year playgroup has a summer trip and for the last few years no members of staff actually attend the trip. It is now run by the committee & the children attend with parents/carers. How do we stand on fact that none of the committee members attending the trip are first aid trained? We understand once we arrive at the destinantion there would probably be first aid trained staff, but whilst in transit if anything were to happen would responsibility fall on the committee running the trip or as parents/carers are in attendance would they be responsible?
