Description

The Customer, as the employer for Lincolnshire maintained schools, has a statutory duty to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the health and safety of children in school and whilst undertaking educational visits led by the school. Educational visits can have a positive effect on children, including their wellbeing, behaviour, and relationships with their peers. They can also help to develop children's self-confidence and raise achievement. These activities are integral to a balanced and broad curriculum to be provided to children by educational establishments.
