We know how daunting it can be letting your child go on a residential visit, so we do everything we can to make it a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

Our policies and procedures are designed to make sure we adhere to the highest safety standards at all times: – Continual safety and first aid training for all staff – Regular checks on equipment before and after every activity session – Qualified First-Aider on centre 24/7 – All staff are fully DBS checked. We create a warm, supportive environment for students so they quickly feel at home. All our activities are progressive, allowing students to join in at whatever level they’re comfortable with. We have found the best way to help children cope with being away from home is to keep them busy, having fun from dawn ‘til dusk.

Kingswood cannot guarantee 100% safety for personal items brought onto centre and they will not be covered by insurance. It is therefore advisable to leave valuables – cameras, mobiles, iPods, MP3 players, computer games, jewellery - at home. A clearly named disposable camera is acceptable.
