themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-23--How parents can claim money back from cancelled school trips

When schools closed to most children in March , it meant many summer trips had to be cancelled .
But with parents having already forked out deposits and installments , many have been left out of pocket .
Money Saving Expert ( MSE ) Martin Lewis says lots of parents are owed hundreds of pounds , but unsure of how to go about getting a refund .
That 's why he 's been issuing advice on the steps mums and dads can take to get their money back .
He says the 'answers are n't clear cut ' , especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on refunds from firms themselves .
But he makes it clear that if parents paid the school , then it 's school that owes them the refund .
`` Legally , as with all purchases , your rights are with whoever you paid , '' says the MSE website .
`` So if – as generally happens – you paid the school , and the school then organised the trip with a travel firm , it 's the school which owes you the refund if the trip is cancelled .
You ca n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ firm , as its contract will only be with the school and not you .
`` Consumer lawyers we 've spoken to say parents should be owed a refund from the school even if the school ca n't recoup the money it 's paid to the travel firm ( though this only applies if the trip wo n't be going ahead , not if you as a parent decide to pull your child out of the trip before it 's cancelled ) . ''
The difficulty , however , lies in the fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finding it very difficult to get a full refund from school trip providers .
MSE says there are huge variations , with several operators giving only partial refunds and expecting schools or trip organisers to claim the remaining balance from their insurers .
PGL for example says its general policy is to offer cash refunds to schools within five days , but it 's subtracting cancellation charges typically equivalent to 30-35 % of the cost of the trip , and says schools should make an insurance claim for the remaining balance .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , then getting the rest back will 'likely depend on their insurance ' .
Martin Lewis says that 'in some cases , schools have paid out refunds to parents anyway and said they 'll try and recoup the money later , but others have said this is n't possible – many are understandably trying to balance tight budgets ' .
He says parents need to decide how desperately they need their money back and how hard they want to push it , but suggests the following : 1 ) First speak to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's taking .
For example , is it checking its insurance or is it a member of the RPA ( risk protection arrangement ) scheme ?
If it 's been offered a partial refund , is it demanding more ?
If your school 's doing its level best to get the money back and ca n't afford to pay out an immediate refund , you may want to wait for it to chase the money down .
2 ) If you really need the money now , you can write to the school @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ca n't afford to wait , or do n't believe the school is chasing a refund hard enough , the next step would be to formally write to the school and insist on a refund .
Slater and Gordon suggests if you do this you set a deadline and ask for the refund to be paid within 14 days .
3 ) If you REALLY want to push it and paid by card , you could try chargeback or Section 75 .
If you have n't got anywhere with the school and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debit card , you could try to get a refund from your bank or card provider via the chargeback scheme or Section 75 .
Before you do this though , weigh up carefully if it 's the right approach .
A chargeback request , for instance , will mean your bank tries to recoup the money from the school 's bank , which will put the school under pressure .
Unless you desperately need the cash , it may be better to be patient and give the school more time .
Chargeback and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paid for the trip in cash or by cheque , and it gets trickier ( though may still be worth trying ) if you paid through a third party payment portal rather than directly by card .
For full info on how this works and what to do , see the Chargeback and Section 75 guides .
4 ) The absolute last resort would be legal action – but be VERY wary .
If you ca n't claim the money back elsewhere and you 've exhausted all other options , Slater and Gordon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against the school – though again , only if you really ca n't afford to show forbearance .
Before considering doing this , you 'd have to weigh up not only the possible risks and costs ( see the Small Claims Court guide for more details ) , but also the impact it would have on your relationship with the school – and , of course , the moral argument .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-23--Chris Whitty warns public not to be "fooled this has gone away"

Chris Whitty has laid out exactly what each person needs to do to stop the transmission of coronavirus in the government 's final press briefing today .
England 's chief medical officer warned the public not to be `` fooled this has gone away '' before explaining exactly what every individual , household , and firm should do to help stop the spread of the deadly virus .
The prime minister began the conference with a recap of changes to come into force in the next easing of lockdown on July 4 .
Boris Johnson announced that the 2m rule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while he confirmed restaurants , pubs , and hairdressers will be able to reopen , among other venues .
Professor Whitty then took to the stand to reiterate that although changes are to be made due to the downward trend of cases and deaths , the virus `` has n't gone away '' .
He started by saying that all of us are having to find a `` sustainable balance , because we have to live alongside this virus for the foreseeable future . ''
`` No decision is going to be risk-free @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of us have to be a part of stopping this coming back in large numbers , '' Prof Whitty continued , `` The first thing is that we all need to take part in isolating the virus - if we have symptoms then we must self-isolate immediately and ask for a test - get our households to self-isolate . ''
`` Then if the test is positive , NHS Test and Trace will try and find close contacts over the previous few days so that they can be isolated .
`` The second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things individually that make it harder for the virus to be passed on .
Washing hands is absolutely critical , covering the mouth for coughs and wearing coverings in situations where you ca n't keep a distance , such as public transport or in many shops .
`` The third group of things we have to do is things which link households together and a lot of the changes made today are around the way in which we reduce the risk of transmitting between one household and another .
`` Some of that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have two households at any given time indoors , with a bit more flexibility outdoors , because the risk is much lower .
`` Then in environments like shops and restaurants and pubs , to make sure that we can meet together in a safer way and a lot of the changes are about emphasising things that we can do and it is really critical that individuals and firms take these really seriously because if we do n't , trains of transmission between households will be re-established .

I 'm going to court to get access to our son .
Go f*** yourself . ''
Two days later , she received another message from Ellis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ message which read : `` When your ex looks like a transvestite '' .
The same day , he sent another message which said : `` I love you '' .
On December 8 , he contacted the victim and friends to say : `` Why get pregnant with another lad when you ca n't even control the kids you have now '' .
He added that he was aware she was pregnant and knew where she lived .
Then finally on December 16 , he messaged her : `` Speak to me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trust me now you are not letting me see him because it will upset your boyfriend .
I 'll see you Christmas Day .
That 's all I 'm saying '' .
In a victim statement , his ex-girlfriend said : `` I feel like the messages are constant and draining .
I feel I ca n't move on with my life and something needs to be done to stop it .
`` I had a restraining order put in place for a reason however this does not seem to deter Brad .

Honorary Recorder of Bolton , Judge Martin Walsh , told Ellis : `` You have escaped going to prison by the skin of your teeth '' .
Sentencing him to 18 months , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added : `` These offences pass the custodial threshold by a significant degree .
They are repetitive in nature and they were committed a short period of time after he was given a suspended sentence .
`` The one factor that allows me not to activate the suspended sentence is the progress you are making under the terms of the existing suspended sentence order , in regards to your work with the probation service .
`` It seems to me that it would benefit you , the community at large and your former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ domestic abuse programme .
`` I want to make it absolutely crystal clear to you , lest you be in any doubt about this , you have escaped going to prison today by the skin of your teeth .
If you breach this sentence you 'll be back before me and I promise you that I will activate the sentence . ''

A convicted heroin and crack dealer involved in the 'Gucci line' drug operation has avoided jail despite breaching his suspended sentence and a restraining order five times.
Last year, Bradley Ellis, of Plodder Lane, Farnworth, Bolton, was sentenced to 16 months, suspended for two years, for his role in a gang which flooded the streets of Bury with class A drugs.
In 2018, Ellis had previously been given a suspended sentence for assaulting his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child. Along with the sentence, a restraining order was imposed forbidding the now 26-year-old from contacting her.
In attempts to contact the victim, Ellis created 11 different Instagram accounts, prosecution barrister Andrew Mackintosh told Bolton Crown Court.
Despite changing her username on multiple occasions, Ellis always managed to find her and on December 2 2019, she received a video message in which Ellis told her: "You're nothing but a sl**. I'm going to court to get access to our son. Go f*** yourself."
Two days later, she received another message from Ellis. This time it was a picture message which read: "When your ex looks like a transvestite". The same day, he sent another message which said: "I love you".
On December 8, he contacted the victim and friends to say: "Why get pregnant with another lad when you can't even control the kids you have now". He added that he was aware she was pregnant and knew where she lived.
Then finally on December 16, he messaged her: "Speak to me when it's about our son. Trust me now you are not letting me see him because it will upset your boyfriend. I'll see you Christmas Day. That's all I'm saying".
In a victim statement, his ex-girlfriend said: "I feel like the messages are constant and draining. I feel I can't move on with my life and something needs to be done to stop it.
"I had a restraining order put in place for a reason however this does not seem to deter Brad. I just want to move on with my life."
Raquel Simpson, defending, said that Ellis was still in full time work and had a "very hard-working attitude"
In regards to a domestic abuse programme put on by the probation service, which was recommended for Ellis, Ms Simpson added: "I'm confident that he will comply."
Honorary Recorder of Bolton, Judge Martin Walsh, told Ellis: "You have escaped going to prison by the skin of your teeth".
Sentencing him to 18 months, suspended for two years, Judge Walsh added: "These offences pass the custodial threshold by a significant degree. They are repetitive in nature and they were committed a short period of time after he was given a suspended sentence.
"The one factor that allows me not to activate the suspended sentence is the progress you are making under the terms of the existing suspended sentence order, in regards to your work with the probation service.
"It seems to me that it would benefit you, the community at large and your former partner if you were to undertake a domestic abuse programme.
"I want to make it absolutely crystal clear to you, lest you be in any doubt about this, you have escaped going to prison today by the skin of your teeth. If you breach this sentence you'll be back before me and I promise you that I will activate the sentence."

Judge Walsh also imposed an additional restraining order to stop Ellis contacting his ex-girlfriend for another three years. Ellis was also ordered to complete 30 rehabilitation activity requirement days.

Manchester town hall has warned it could effectively face bankruptcy in autumn without further support from government .
The council ’ s treasurer said a Section 114 notice - the mechanism used by local authorities when they believe they won ’ t be able to legally balance their books - ‘ could well ’ be the outcome later this year unless ministers help .

Manchester ’ s council leader Sir Richard Leese said that although there is a ‘ reasonable expectation ’ some kind of further funding would be coming from ministers in the near future , details were unclear and there was ‘ no certainty in the medium term ’ .

Manchester town hall has warned it could effectively face bankruptcy in autumn without further support from government.
The council’s treasurer said a Section 114 notice - the mechanism used by local authorities when they believe they won’t be able to legally balance their books - ‘could well’ be the outcome later this year unless ministers help.
Manchester is currently facing a £133m shortfall as a result of the pandemic, much of it due to lost income from investments, its airport ownership, fees and charges.
Other town halls across the country have already warned 114 notices could be in the offing, including Leeds and Liverpool.
Manchester’s council leader Sir Richard Leese said that although there is a ‘reasonable expectation’ some kind of further funding would be coming from ministers in the near future, details were unclear and there was ‘no certainty in the medium term’.

“It’s effectively a hand to mouth exercise at the moment and that’s putting services at risk, it’s putting jobs at risk,” he said.
Councils nationally have received a total of £3.2bn in extra funding from government during the pandemic, but in recent weeks more and more have warned 114 notices - considered a nuclear option and historically a rare occurrence - could be on the cards due to huge forecast shortfalls, particularly due to lost income.
Such a move would see councils introduce immediate and severe spending restrictions, with likely job losses and service cuts.
But both Labour and Tory councils, as well as the Local Government Association, have warned ministers they are now on a financial precipice and are urging them to provide funding certainty rather than one-off cash sums.

In Manchester’s case, the vast bulk of its funding gap is due to lost income, including £20m from fees and charges and £77m from commercial revenue such as investments.
That pressure will extend into next year too, including an expected £59m loss in dividend from its ownership of the airport, which councils here bailed out with a £250m loan a few weeks ago.
City treasurer Carol Culley told councillors on the town hall’s resources scrutiny committee that the financial effects could hit the council's budgets for as long as five years.
Noting that talk of 114 notices is ‘quite emotive’, she said she ‘would come back to that in the autumn’ once the Chancellor’s July mini-Budget had taken place - from which local government hopes to see extra funding.
But she added: ”It’s fair to say if further support isn’t forthcoming we could well be in that territory by then.”
At the start of the pandemic council leaders were told government would do 'whatever it takes' to support them during the outbreak, although some had concerns about whether that would prove to the case.
Greater Manchester town halls are now expecting costs and lost income to total £634m in total, while only £244m has been received from ministers, according to the paper going before its ten leaders tomorrow.
Sir Richard said an emergency Manchester council budget previously mooted for July would not now take place due to the difficulty in working out the likely in-year financial position, although he said short-term savings would be drawn up.
A paper put before city councillors this morning says 'measures required to address the longer term financial position, some of which may need to be introduced in this financial year, are being developed for executive members to consider in the autumn'.

The area is among four townships in the borough of Bolton set to receive a share of £16m for major refurbishment works and, while a "masterplan" for this project has been drawn up, the final decisions on what work should be done are still to be decided.
In a post on Facebook, Coun Eckersley-Fallon said the building had already been offered a separate £2.5m update by the council and questioned why concerned residents should have to wait on the results of other plans she believes are related to the rest of the town centre.
