For Residential Visits specific information has to be provided in writing to parents and should include:
- The activities and the learning objectives
- The venue
- Domestic and sleeping arrangements
- Medical provision
- Supervision arrangements
- Travel arrangements
- Insurance cover
- Behaviour code
In addition to written information Heads of Establishment and Visit Leaders should consider holding a meeting where these points can be discussed. The nature of the visit, the age and experience of the participants and the length of visit will affect this decision.
Communication with parents should include making them aware of procedures for dealing with misbehaviour or behaviour that gives Visit Leaders cause for concern.
