SAFEGUARDING AND CHILD PROTECTION
Inspireeducamps is an equal opportunity employer and also welcomes all children, regardless of their gender, ability, race or religion. Each child attending camp is of equal value and is entitled to equal access of opportunity. We operate a zero tolerance policy towards discrimination or bullying of any kind. We are committed to keeping children safe and to ensure that we embed a culture of care at the centre of our decision making.

 
SPECIAL NEEDS
It is our policy not to exclude any child due to special needs, wherever possible. The needs of each child varies, so decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, depending on the level of support each individual child requires to enable him/her to fully participate in and enjoy activities at Inspireeducamps. We request that parents of children with special needs contact our Inspireeducamps Head Office, prior to booking, to discuss how we can best accommodate their children and consider whether any special arrangements need to be made.


CHILD EXCLUSION
On rare occasions, a child proves incompatible with the general well-being of camp (e.g., bullying, disruptive or aggressive behaviour, special needs not previously notified to Inspireeducamps management). We reserve the right to exclude such children. No refund will be made for any remaining camp days booked, and any costs associated with the child’s exclusion, including transport home, will be the parent’s responsibility.


PARENT FEEDBACK
We aim to provide the best possible care for all children at Inspireeducamps, at all times. Please tell other parents if you are happy with your experience! If you have concerns or suggestions, please tell us. We value your feedback and will use it to develop and improve our services. Concerns should be raised initially with your child’s Teaching Assistant or the Inspireeducamps Site Manager for more serious issues who will inform the Inspireeducamps Managing Director and will attempt to resolve the issue to your satisfaction.
