target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-travel-advice-for-educational-settings/coronavirus-travel-guidance-for-educational-settings</a>.</p><p>In
the autumn term, schools can resume non-overnight domestic educational visits. Guidance
is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-schools"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-schools</a>.</p><p>All
such visits should be compliant with COVID-19 guidelines and subject to a thorough
and ongoing assessment of the risks to ensure that they can be undertaken safely.
Schools should consult the health and safety guidance on educational visits when considering
any visit, available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/health-and-safety-on-educational-visits/health-and-safety-on-educational-visits"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/health-and-safety-on-educational-visits/health-and-safety-on-educational-visits</a>.</p><p>Schools
should not resume overnight visits for the time-being. This is consistent with the
latest government guidance on meeting people from outside your household, which advises
that you should not stay overnight away from your home with members of more than 2
households: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/meeting-people-from-outside-your-household-from-4-july"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/meeting-people-from-outside-your-household-from-4-july</a>.</p><p>The
above guidance will remain under review and will be updated in line with guidance
from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Department for Transport and Public
Health England.</p>
