The professional staff at the Centre are all well qualified leaders with a wide range of expertise and experience of instructing and leading groups in a range of outdoor activities. They are not just outdoor leaders but are attuned to the outdoor educational philosophy that the Centre promotes. By developing good group and individual professional relationships they are able to play an effective part in personal and social development. Staff fully comply with the requirements of the activities licensing authority and are approved to run activities within the safety frameworks set out by Swindon Borough Council. You can be confident that a high level of safety is maintained on all the courses we run. For further details please see the licensing authority’s website – www.aala.org. Our outdoor Leaders are also assisted in their roles by a team of Assistants. These are usually young people spending a year or so at the Centre. They learn new skills and gain experience in working with young people in the outdoors. Many go on to become outdoor leaders in their own right.
