Spring 2025

In this issue

We focus on aspects of safety and safeguarding for educational visits, including guidance and legislation, the quality badges and marks to look for, and how to talk to providers about safeguarding. We hear from Nottingham’s Home and Hospital Education Centre about how they prepare visits for young people not in mainstream education, and speak to language teacher, Annabelle about what it takes to be a confident Visit Leader.
