Was told I would have to give 4 weeks notice prior to leaving the country the only exception is the first long weekend break when as soon as you arrive at foundation make it known. After a good few months you don't have to give notice anylonger.

You need permission to leave the UK throughout your service! I've done 23 years and still have to request it.
