      Tick to confirm that arrangements have been made. Enter ‘NR’ if a box is not relevant. For regular educational and recreational visits, for example to school playing fields, church, the swimming pool, simply complete one form for each academic year. Supporting paperwork, for example the risk assessment for the activity should still be on file, as should any paperwork with providers. An opportunity to regularly review educational and recreational events should be made at least annually.

      Overseas visits

       35. The council would like to be made aware of all overseas visits taking place by Lewisham schools. In order to make this possible the following must apply.

      1. All Head teachers and EVC’s must inform the Outdoor Advisor of any visits taking place overseas. The advisors role is not to authorise these visits, as the scheme of delegation makes it clear that the best people to authorise these visits are headteachers and trained EVCs.
      2. The advisor will then collate this information and ensure that the relevant council officers are informed of School trips taking place overseas.
      3. The Advisor will also be able to offer support in the planning of these trips.
