- Instructors and other key staff have undertaken CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checks and we have a Child & Vulnerable Adult Protection Policy in place.
- Outdoor activities undertaken at Hollowford follow the guidelines laid out in the 'Lindley Educational Trust : Code of Practice for Outdoor Activities'.
- Our minibuses are in good working order, they have monthly 'safety checks' at an approved garage and have seat belts. We have strict guidelines for the conduct of drivers.
- All equipment is in good working order; equipment is regularly replaced and is checked before and after use.
