A full risk assessment is conducted at the start of every programme and our programme staff are supported by our local, regional and international network of experienced Risk Managers. 

All of our participants are required to carry insurance and to provide detailed medical and health information.

At every programme there is a qualified first-aid. They are responsible for any basic first aid, the organization and distribution of medicines, liaising with local doctors and hospitals as necessary and keeping all records relating to any illness or accident.

Medical care is always within easy reach. In the rare event of illness or accident, parents are called at the first opportunity and updated with full information on what steps have been taken to help their child.
