Question 1

I want to meet a family friend while I am in the UK. Is that possible?

Jon Harper · Accepted Answer

We would need to have signed letter from your parents to give permission. This must detail the person you will meet, their relationship to you and details of where they will meet.
A member of staff will not accompany you.
If this is on a day of programme, you cannot make up the time lost.
If they are to travel alone to meet this person, we would not cover this cost, and we would put in a procedure to ensure you arrive safely. However, the letter must state that permission is given of the child to travel alone and travel arrangements must be made by the parents.
If the meeting is in a place we are visiting on an excursion, staff would facilitate the meeting. However, the child must the return at the appointed time to return by coach, or the above is true if they will return at a different time.
