supervisors for the trip will be aware of this and make sure they have all the precautions necessary to make sure your child is safe and doesn’t come to any harm. The children are allowed to take mobile phones with them but we ask you to not call them, as they could be very busy at the time, and instead wait for them to contact you, as they will have an hour each evening to spend doing what they want, including phone privileges. If there is an emergency, we ask you to contact the school, who will then contact one of the teacher who are on the trip.
