Keeping your children safe at Adventure Camps
Children welfare is our primary duty at Adventure Camps.
Whilst your child is in our care, we are responsible for their wellbeing and safety. As such, your child’s welfare is our main concern in everthing we do.

To keep your children safe and for your peace of mind, Adventure Camps do the following:
- Each camp has a designated safeguarding lead and supporting deputy. These are staff members specially trained by external agencies to deal with safeguarding issues.
- All our staff are trained in safeguarding and child protection and know to talk to their Designated Safeguarding lead if they have any worries about a child.
- We will refer any worries about a particular child to the local safeguarding board, who will advise us on the best action to take.
- We also encourage parents to discuss matters concerning their children with a team member to help us carry out our duties effectively.
