Excursion Contact Tracing

Due to the current public health directives all venues are required to keep records of all who attend their site for Contact Tracing purposes.  DET have advise us that under these guidelines we must provide these venues with the Schools Staff and Students full name and a contact phone number from our onsite records. These records are only accessed if there needs to be contact tracing.

Thank you for your understanding.
