Peace of Mind – PGL website Q: Are your staff DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked? A: Yes, all PGL staff are list 99 checked and cleared by the DBS at Enhanced Disclosure level. Non UK residents are subject to the equivalent checks in their home country. Q: Are your activity instructors qualified? A: Yes, all our instructors are carefully selected and highly trained. See details of our operating standards, Codes of Practice and Risk Assessments by clicking the links. Q: Is my money safe with PGL? A: Yes, PGL is a well established company and we are members of ABTA and ATOL holders. Q: Can I contact my child whilst they are away? A: For many children, part of the learning experience is about being away from home, sometimes for the first time. We would ask parents to allow their children to settle in and enjoy the experience. In the event of needing to contact your child urgently, we will of course organise this. However please bear in mind that many of our sites are very large and your child may be a long way from the phone when you call.

Q: My child can’t swim, can he/she still take part? A: You must inform the party leader of your child’s swimming ability. Water confidence is adequate for some activities or we will make alternative arrangements so that your child does not miss out. Q: It is my child’s birthday whist they are away, can you organise a cake? A: If the party leader is aware of this, we will make every effort to organise a cake and try and ensure that the day is special. Q: Insurance A: We include insurance for UK based schools for all our trips. Please refer to your party leader if you want further information about cover. http: //www. pgl. co. uk/Pgl.
