Kingswood and our parent company Education Travel Group Ltd is committed to excellence in all aspects of its undertaking, including its management of Health & Safety.

In addition to its statutory obligations for Health & Safety at work, the Board acknowledges the special responsibilities it holds for the Health & Safety, well-being and welfare of the young people and others who participate in its sporting, leisure, activity, learning and development programmes.

Our general policy is to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the Health & Safety at work of our employees and the Health & Safety of our guests and any other persons who may be affected by our undertaking.

We will comply, as a minimum, with the requirements of relevant Health & Safety legislation, approved codes of practice and, as appropriate, guidance published by the Health and Safety Executive and/or other recognised industry bodies.

We will seek to continually improve our Health & Safety performance in order to raise standards and reduce the potential for occupational injuries and/or cases of ill-health.

Our objective is to achieve a business culture with a ‘zero tolerance’ to unnecessary Health & Safety hazards and risks and, thereby, reduce the incidence of accidents, incidents and/or cases of occupational ill-health.

Our commitment is to minimise unnecessary hazards and risks and ensure that Health & Safety actively contributes to the success of the business, and will be supported by ensuring the real engagement of our employees and, as necessary, others in delivering good Health & Safety.

Our employees and, as appropriate, others will be made aware of our Health & Safety policy and our commitment to its effective implementation; and their responsibility to support the business in its effective implementation.
