Kingswood’s Safety Statement Safety is always our top priority. That holds especially true for

adventure activities. Indoors or out, all of these activities take place in a controlled, safe environment with equipment that is always carefully inspected. All activities only occur under the watchful eyes and involvement of highly trained staff.

Independent experts have trained our instructors and all have National Governing Body qualifications and lots of experience in coaching their respective activities. Each session begins with a safety primer for pupils. Psychologists maintain that risk taking is instinctive for young people. These activities enable pupils to experience risk sensations, while in the safest of circumstances.
