Health and safety notes

We are extremely conscious of our responsibilities in relation to health and safety, and we aim to provide fun, inspirational and safe learning experiences in the national park.

All activities are fully risk assessed - our leaders are trained to a high standard and are Criminal Records Bureau/Disclosure and Barring (CRB/DBS) checked.

These health and safety notes and risk assessments are aimed at teachers and leaders who are bringing groups to work with our team in the Peak District National Park. Groups should still complete their own risk assessments for their particular group.
