OUTDOOR EDUCATION KCC - Children, Families & Education
	The Outdoor Education Unit was established in April 2003 following recommendations issued by the DCSF in August 2002. We are here to advise and support LEA Schools and Youth Centres on all issues relating to Educational Visits.

Visits that include an overnight stay and/or adventurous activities must obtain KCC approval via the e-go online system as per current guidance.

Out-of-county visits

From 1st September 2007 KCC requires NOTIFICATION  of non-adventurous day visits to locations outside of Kent.

Schools and the Youth Service can use the e-go online system to enter their visits for approval and make notifications. Click on the e-go logo below to access the system.
