Vast Experience of Outdoor Activities

Safety

At Award Solutions, we take safety to be a very important part of all the different awards we deliver.

We have a number of policy’s and safety procedures that are rigidly adhered to and regularly updated and reviewed. We see planning ahead as an important part of our work when we organise an expedition or course. We go into fine detail in preparing all our activities so that everybody gets a positive learning experience.

We hold a Licence under  Adventurous Activities Licensing Authority to verify our safety procedures.

D of E Approved

Award Solutions’ experience in delivering expeditions for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has enabled us to become an Approved Activity Provider for the expedition section of the award. We annually go through a review with The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award to make sure the expeditions and training we deliver meets their requirements.

Insurance

Award Solutions hold employee and public liability insurance. If you require a copy of this for your organisation, one can be made available to you.

All our staff are fully trained

All activities are thoroughly risk assessed and constantly reviewed before, during and after an activity to ensure that, everybody goes home safe and that people have enjoyed a challenging experience taking account of their abilities and environmental factors. In today’s society, we encourage people to be involved in our risk assessment process so they learn to manage and limit risk. Dynamic risk assessment is the technique we use to manage risks on an everchanging outdoor scene be it the change in weather or the ground conditions we work in to keep people safe.

All our staff are fully trained and hold a valid first aid certificate and undergo first aid refresher training once a year to ensure their skills are updated. They are all enhanced DBS cleared, this is done every 3 years or updated annually on the UK Government system. They also have undergone Safeguard Training and we have a dedicated Safeguarding Officer who is responsible for the company’s safeguarding of all young people and vulnerable adults.
