Safety & Accreditation

---

We at Safe and Sound Outdoors pride ourselves on our excellent safety record. Having worked with groups and individuals for 11 years in the outdoor industry we have very few accidents, and those that do happen are recorded and reviewed to make sure that we learn from them.

All activities are risk assessed in writing and risk management practices are put in place to manage them.  Your health and safety is our prime consideration and drives everything we do.

We work very closely within National Governing Body qualifications and all our instructors are selected for their qualifications and also their interpersonal skills. Where there are no National Governing Body qualifications available for certain activities it is our policy that our staff hold as a minimum a first aid qualification and another group related National Governing Body qualification. They must also be experienced in that particular sport.

We carry employers Liability (£10,000,000), Public Liability (£5,000,000) and Errors and Omissions Liability (£100,000) Insurance with AIM.

For clients under eighteen years old we are licensed by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority for Watersports, Mountaineering and Trekking and we run to the same standards for over eighteens (where there is no licensing requirement).

All our instructors undergo a stringent training period which includes an enhanced CRB check and also coverage of all risk assessments and company policies.

If you require personal accident insurance or cancellation insurance please go through a third party.
