Educational visits

They can enable pupils to develop initiative, resourcefulness and independence. However, it is essential that all such visits are carried out with the highest regard for the safety and welfare of the pupils taking part in them.

Guidelines have been developed to provide helpful and practical advice to Governing Bodies, Headteachers and Teachers in the organisation of school visits. 

For information and advice on the health and safety aspects of school visits, parents can speak to the Education Health & Safety Manager, Mike Sopp, on telephone 020 8753 3728.
