Medical information

All of our centres have a First Aid Director with a team of fully qualified First Aid specialists on site 24-hours a day. All medication that children bring with them is stored in a secure area and must be recorded on the medical form and handed to the First Aid Team at the time of registration, clearly labelled with instructions. Qualified First Aiders will dispense medications as determined by individual’s needs.

In the event of an emergency we have 24-hour access to local doctors and are registered with all local hospitals. If a child is taken to see a Doctor or hospital for any reason parents/guardians are notified as soon as possible.

Prior to camp every parent is required to return a completed medical form for each child on form 1 of our Welcome Pack and are completely confidential (please don't be embarrassed to discuss any problems such as bed wetting, shyness etc). We feel we can deal with almost anything as long as we are forewarned.

Every situation is treated with great sensitivity in ensuring that a child never feels embarrassed. Please return the medical form to our Head Office as soon as possible before your child’s arrival. Sometimes family situations may affect the behaviour of a child on holiday. Please inform us of any changes i.e. new baby, family bereavement, or anything you feel may affect your child's well being at camp. We naturally treat any personal information with sensitivity and complete confidentiality.

Hygiene

All younger campers are supervised daily for personal cleanliness and older campers are encouraged when deemed necessary! While this is the direct responsibility of the Group Leaders, in practice it's a responsibility shared among all our senior staff. It is camp policy for everyone to take a daily shower.
