Please inform the retreat leader of the overall theme and any more general issues and themes you would like included in the day.
Please inform the retreat leader of any SEND information before the retreat or on the day itself.
Staff
Staff should accompany any small groups that move from the main retreat room.
Staff are strongly encouraged to be with young people at break and lunch as team members will usually spend this time collecting and setting up resources for the next session.
At break and lunch at least one member of staff should be outside with young people.
Behaviour not acceptable in school should not be accepted on retreat.
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessments are available through the booking form procedure.
Break and Lunch
We encourage young people to go outside and get fresh air after having their lunch. Staff should decide when to allow young people to leave the canteen. Please make sure that tables are cleared, bags are back on the racks and bins have been used correctly.
We suggest young people bring a second pair of shoes to wear after lunch (or at lunch) as we may ask young people who have been outside to take their shoes off to not bring mud into the house.
We have a tuck shop that young people can buy cans and chocolate from. Cans are priced at £1, chocolate at 80p and sweets at 20p.
Breakages
If equipment/furniture etc is damaged due to misbehaviour the school may be invoiced for any replacements or repairs necessary.
Photos
Photos may be used for publicity purposes. No names will be published without additional consent.
If there are individuals who may not be photographed, please inform the leader on the day.
First Aid
Not all team members are qualified in First Aid and so cannot offer emergency treatment.
Schools are required to provide their own qualified First Aid person.
