Trip planning
We know that the planning and logistics for a visit to our centre can be a big task. That’s why we’ve created this handy page to give you all the information you need in one place.
Health and safety
Hampshire Outdoor Centres have Service Management Instructions relating to all aspects of our health and safety management. Activities are conducted in line with operational procedures which underpin the safety of all Centre activities and are a product of ongoing risk assessments. These procedures are the criteria which are followed when training, assessing and monitoring our staff.
Hampshire County Council recognises the legal requirement to ensure that its employees are adequately competent or under the close supervision of someone who is competent while working for the County Council. All staff will either hold a relevant National Governing Body qualification, or a statement of competence signed by an appropriately experienced and qualified person consistent with the requirements of the Licensing Authority.
Financial assistance
A small fund is available to provide financial assistance to children to help fund a visit to our outdoor centres. Funding can cover:
- residential and non-residential visits
- costs directly charged by the centre
- tuition, activities, and excursions provided by the centre
