Guidelines for organisations working with schools
There are a number of things that you should consider before submitting
your offer. These include:
- The offer to schools must be of clear and genuine educational value. The target audience
(e.g. student age range) and subject must be defined, and the content of the offer made
clear to participants in advance.
- Any costs associated with the offer must be communicated clearly and agreed in advance.
- The organisation involved must comply with the relevant health and safety standards.
- Those working with schools must also follow DfES guidelines.
We may come back to you for further information or to clarify any details on your offer to schools.
