answered. SECTION A
Question 1 (25 marks) 1.1 Explain the concept of loco parentis and identify
the specific duties of care Progressive Pathways Academy and its staff
assumed towards Thabo and Lerato during the school trip. (4 marks)
Loco Parentis and the Duties of Care
The concept of loco parentis is a legal principle that means "in the place of a parent." It refers to
the legal responsibility of a person or institution to take on some of the duties and responsibilities
of a parent while a child is under their care and supervision.
During the school trip, Progressive Pathways Academy and its staff assumed the duty of loco
parentis towards Thabo and Lerato. This means they were responsible for the students' well-
being and safety, just as a parent would be. Their specific duties of care would have included:
Supervision: Ensuring the continuous and adequate supervision of the children to
prevent them from coming to harm.
Safety: Taking reasonable steps to ensure the physical and emotional safety of Thabo and
Lerato throughout the trip.
Responsibility: Acting with the prudence and care that a reasonable parent would
exercise in a similar situation, including responding to any emergencies or medical needs
