Kneeler:
There is no current advice either from North Yorkshire County Council or the Foreign and Commonwealth Office suggesting that travel to France should be limited. I will be receiving immediate email and text alerts for the duration of the trip if that advice should change. It is important as educators that we continue to give children and young people the opportunity to learn about different religions, faiths and cultures and engender respect and tolerance within our communities and to all go about our daily lives without fear or hindrance.
