Emma, I know this is an issue generally. It has been raised in meetings I have been at for Learning Outside the Classroom, and I have come across it in my role as a secondary school governor. I know DCSF have issued a statement that visits planned as part of the curriculum should not be under the rarely cover guidance, but I doubt this is being taken note of.
