The staff accompanying the visit are all responsible and experienced.

4. Medication If any tablets or medicine have to be taken please label them and give them to your child’s group leader.

If your child is travel sick please give them a tablet before leaving home and give them one for the return journey in a sealed envelope with their name on and hand it to their group leader. If you are worried about any problems (sleepwalking, bedwetting etc) do let us know. All problems will be dealt with confidentially.

Tell your group leader at once if you lose or break something, or if you are worried about anything.
