TIPD LA Short Term Study Visits
Each LA has an annual allocation of places for
TIPD study visits. Lincolnshire’s allocation is 25, which is
usually split between two visits, one in the February holiday and
one during the October break. A theme is chosen for each visit from
the list provided by the DCSF. A list of the themes and details of
eligibility and funding can be found in the booklet ‘DCSF Teachers’
International Professional Development Programme’.
