Health and Safety of Learners Outside the Classroom (HASLOC) - Revision of guidance

Publication date: 03 December 2009

HASLOC will have a wider audience across all children’s services (not just schools). It sets out the enabling nature of sensible risk management and how to reduce 'red tape'. It flags up the lessons learned from serious incidents. HASLOC also sets out how and why staff can expect to be treated fairly if a participant is injured despite their care. In general HASLOC works at a high level and leaves most of the detail to the operational parts of the Learning Outside the Classroom Council's website which will carry downloadable material.  In this consultation, DCSF are seeking views and suggestions to help them make this an accessible, user-friendly and effective guide for front-line professionals.

Please visit the DCSF website for further information.
