79 1. Holidays or School Trips in the UK
79 </h2>
80 <p>
80 Where there is a proposal for a child to go on holiday or a school trip in the UK, the relevant
social worker should give approval, unless it has previously been agreed this is not necessary
(which may apply for holidays or trips up to four days as set out in
80 <a href="p_overnight_stay.html#social">
80 Social Visits (including Overnight Stays) Procedure, Social Visits / Overnight Stays
80 </a>
80 ) that the home can make the arrangements without seeking approval.
80 </p>
81 <p>
81 If the home is permitted to arrange holidays and trips without seeking approval, the social
worker should still be informed, preferably in advance or as soon as possible afterwards.
81 </p>
82 <p>
82 Children must not be taken on holiday during term time unless there are exceptional
circumstances that would be approved by the social worker's Manager for the child and the Head
of School. (Note that under the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) (Amendment) Regulations
2013, the previous ability of headteachers to grant leave of absence for the purpose of a
holiday during term time in 'special circumstances' of up to ten school days leave per year has
been removed. The 2013 Regulations make clear that headteachers may not grant any leave of
absence during term time unless there are 'exceptional circumstances').

83 2. Holidays or School Trips Outside the UK
83 </h2>
84 <p>
84 Where there is a proposal for child to go on holiday or school trip abroad, the child's social
worker must always give approval, having consulted the child's parents.
84 </p>
85 <p>
85 Where the parents consent, their consent must be obtained in writing. Where parental consent is
not given, the social worker may need to seek legal advice as to whether the holiday can go
ahead.
85 </p>
86 <p>
86 If the child requires a passport, the social worker should be consulted on the procedures within
the Local Authority for obtaining a passport.

88 Interruption to Normal Contact Arrangements
88 </h2>
89 <p>
89 Where the holiday or school trip will interrupt normal contact arrangements between the child
and his/her family and significant others, alternative suitable arrangements should be given
consideration. This should be in consultation with the social worker and relevant others and
consistent with the child's Care Plan.
