SAFETY
We are licenced by the Adventure Activities Licencing Service as required by the Activity Centres (Young Persons Safety) Act 1995 for the delivery of specified activities to persons under the age of 18 years.
We are also a RYA recognised training venue and a BCU approved centre both of which mean we meet the safety and operational criteria for these organisations and subject ourselves to a yearly inspection of our centre.
We carry out yearly reviews of our risk assessments for all individual activities, sites used and any significant hazard created as a resut of our operations.
We review our standard operating procedures at least every 12 months to ensure they are still relevant and train our staff at the start of each season. Our core management staff hold the OCR Certificate in OFF SITE SAFETY MANAGEMENT and are qualified as instructors in all our core activities.
