IMPACT OF RARELY COVER GUIDANCE ON SCHOOL TRIPS

That this House notes with concern the threat that the Rarely Cover guidance poses to learning outside the classroom; highlights the fact that many schools are cancelling school trips citing concerns over the application of the Rarely Cover guidance; notes that as a consequence the guidance is contradictory in its aim to facilitate the continuation of educationally valuable visits or trips; further notes the value of educational trips to children's personal development and learning of life skills; and calls on the Government to provide clarification on the guidance to ensure that the negative impact on school trips is minimised.
