Our top priority is always 'safety first'. We actively promote a culture of safety awareness in outdoor education, without losing the adventure. Our Safety Management Systems and Policy have been independently inspected and verified. All centres comply with health and safety requirements and we hold copies of their Public Liability Insurances.

• Each JCA member of staff has a copy of the company’s Health & Safety Policy in their Training Manual.
• Our Centre Managers have a full-size First Aid Kit and each of our Instructors carry a First Aid Kit on activity sessions.
• Daily safety and equipment checks are made and recorded at all of our centres. Any equipment showing signs of wear is immediately taken out of commission and replaced.
• JCA has carried out Risk Assessments for all activities at our Centres
• Any accidents or near misses are recorded regularly and corrective action is taken to ensure that they are avoided in the future.

Copies of our generic risk assessments are available to download from our secure teachers area.

Security

The accommodation styles might vary but the emphasis on safety does not. Our operating systems at each centre ensure that we meet the highest standards of security. Some of these measures include:

• Staff uniform and name badges with photograph
• Visitor badges for accompanying teachers
• CCTV and security barriers
• Night security patrols
• Duplicate accommodation keys for the Party Leader
• Duty Instructor on call 24 hours

The accommodation styles at our centres vary, therefore some security aspects will differ dependant on the location requirements.
