etc Safety Management System

Health and safety are an integral part of everything we do. We accept that safety is of paramount importance and continually review and update our codes of practice to ensure all reasonable and practicable measures are undertaken to limit risk. With ever changing safety requirements and legislation we ensure our ongoing reviews identify where resources and training are needed.

Whilst we acknowledge that risk is part of life and children should be made aware of the concepts of risk awareness, risk assessment and risk management, we do not wish these issues to overshadow the value of education outside the classroom. We believe with a clear and well structured safety management system, attention to detail in preparation and a professional approach to safety during a trip, we can provide day trips that are both exciting and engaging whilst being as safe as is reasonably practical.
