The People

Safer Recruitment: Every staff member undergoes rigorous background checks and safeguarding training before they ever meet a student.

Professional Training: Our team is trained receive detailed training, including safeguarding appropriate to their level of responsibility, to ensure they are equipped to provide adequate care for our students.

Our Staff: Dedicated staff carry out risk assessments and provide direct support to Group Leaders and students in the event of any incident. They oversee safeguarding on site, respond promptly to concerns, and offer clear guidance to both staff and students.

The Programme

Arrival Briefing: On arrival, all students participate in a detailed welcome presentation where they are told about essential safety procedures, safeguarding rules, and anti-bullying policies. This session includes introductions to our safeguarding staff, information on evacuation procedures, assembly points, and emergency contact numbers.

Night Security: To ensure the safety of our students, we enforce strict curfew times at all our campuses. Our staff carry out night checks every day to verify that all students are safely in their rooms by the designated time. These measures allow us to ensure that all participants have plenty of rest for the next day's activities.

Supervision on Campus: At PLUS, Group Leaders are primarily responsible for supervising their students, but our staff provide additional support. Group Leaders receive clear guidance in our Group Leader handbook about their supervision responsibilities. Clear walking routes between accommodation and classrooms are established during the welcome tour, so the Group Leaders can then accompany and lead their students each day. PLUS staff remain available and actively involved throughout the programme, monitoring the groups and providing support whenever further assistance is needed.

The Journey

Smart IDs: Every student wears a lanyard with their personal information and emergency contact details—essential for off-campus safety.

Excursion Supervision: During excursions, Group Leaders and Activity Leaders work together to supervise students effectively. Active supervision with "Front and Back" positioning by Activity Leaders to ensure no student is left behind.

Headcounts: Continuous checks at every transition point—boarding, meeting points, and attraction entries.
