Safeguarding

 

Safeguarding is an integral part of AR’s safety operations and affects all operations on a daily basis.

​

This policy is one of a series in Adventure Residentials integrated safeguarding portfolio.

Our core safeguarding principles are:

 

•  It is Adventure Residentials responsibility to safeguard and promote the

 welfare of children on their programmes, expeditions and courses;

•  Children who are and feel safe make more successful learners;

•  Representatives of the whole Adventure Residentials community of

 participants, parents, school/group staff, AR administration staff and AR

 instructors will be involved in policy development and review as required;

•  Policies will be reviewed annually, unless an incident or new legislation or

 guidance suggests the need for an earlier date of review.

​​​

All staff and instructors uphold our commitment to safeguarding  by undertaking enhanced checks with the Disclosure & Barring Service (‘DBS checks’ – formerly Criminal Records Bureau checks) as a cornerstone of our approach and these are repeated every three years.​
