What should schools do if a child becomes ill on a school trip?
If a child on a school trip were to develop symptoms of the virus, DCSF recommends teachers in charge of the pupils follow the emergency procedures as set out at chapter 10 of the Health and Safety of Pupils on Educational Visits guidance: www.teachernet.gov.uk/wholeschool/healthandsafety/visits If the child developed a flu-like illness, then management of the child should include their isolation under adequate supervision with staff using PPE where needed.
