EVOLVE Advice - Employer Guidance
Welcome to Beyond The Gates - Guidance for off site visits and related activities. Beyond the Gates has been written to provide advice and guidance to our clients at EVOLVE Advice. For many years we have provided employer guidance for our clients. Beyond the Gates replaces, and builds on, earlier EVOLVE Advice guidance for clients, including: ‘Guidance for Off-Site Visits and Related Activities with National Guidance & EVOLVE’.
We advise that you read this guidance alongside OEAP National Guidance, Department for Education Guidance and for Schools in Scotland - SAPOE Going Out There.
This guidance should be read in full. For support and clarity on guidance EVOLVE Advice schools should contact [email protected]
