Changes to Educational Visits

The Department for Education have significantly altered the regulations surrounding educational visits management in the last few months, including confirming that there is no requirement to have an Educational Visits Coordinator in school. Best practice and safety standards, however, still apply, with the onus being placed in sound systems and good risk assessment and trip management. The revised guidance is a short document highlighting myths and best practice and can be found by following this link.. HSE have also issued the following short document here. Feel free to contact us for guidance and advice on out this might be applied to your school.
