You’re in safe hands with PGL

No risk is an acceptable level of risk, which is why we go beyond to ensure every young person is always in safe hands.

Everything we do is built on five protective pillars:

Safe people banner

Safe People
All our staff are rigorously selected for their capabilities, DBS checked. fully trained and continually assessed to ensure they meet the highest safety standards possible.

Safe places banner

Safe Places
Our sites and buildings are managed to reduce all possible risk before any child arrives. including segmented accommodation, secure perimeters and stringent equipment standards.

Safe spaces banner

Safe Spaces
Every child is different so to make our environments as encompassing as possible every colleague is SEND trained. we offer language inclusivity and offer over-and above access for all We also operate a zero-tolerance policy on illegal practices.

Safeguarding banner

Safeguarding
Trained to act as ‘first-responders’ to safeguarding red flags, PGL colleagues are versed in spotting risks (across mental health. self-harm sexual and physical wellbeing) and acting quickly to escalate any concerns or stop harmful behaviour.

Safe travels banner

FAQ

What’s included in the cost of the PGL trip?

Everything your school or group needs is included in the cost of the camp at Beam House, with accommodation, activities, equipment, food and drinks all covered in the price per person!

What happens in the evenings?

The fun doesn’t stop after the day’s activities! After dinner, our evening entertainment programme will keep your class or group amused until it’s time for bed. We’ve got discos, campfires, quizzes and loads more!

What should I pack for my child's overnight stay?

For your child who’s staying at Beam House, we recommend packing for all kinds of weather. You’ll need plenty of tops and trousers/leggings that your child can wear for taking part in activities, as well as some swimwear and a towel for the nearby beach! Don’t forget clean clothes for the evening too.
If your child is coming with their sports group, then don’t forget their sports kit for use at our sports playing fields.
Aside from clothes, it’s also important to pack your child’s toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel, a toothbrush and toothpaste.

Does my child need waterproofs for their residential trip?

Yes, it’s always important to bring waterproofs just in case the weather takes a turn while your child is taking part in our adventurous activities. A waterproof coat is one item that your child can bring, keeping them covered in many situations!

Does my child need to bring money?

They don’t need to bring money, but if your child would like to buy a souvenir to take home from the gift shop then we recommend about £10 per child, in cash or on a pre-paid card. We have lots to choose from at our gift shop, including group badges and PGL goodies!

Can I contact my child during their stay?

Yes, you can. If your child is bringing their mobile phone, then they are able to call you during free time (highlighted in our Mobile Phone Policy). Your child can also ask a member of the PGL team to help organise a phone call, perhaps if they feel homesick. If you need to let your child know something while they are on a residential, then by calling our centre or the group leader’s contact number, you’ll be able to get through to them.

Do you cater for special dietary requirements?

Absolutely, if your child has any dietary requirements or anybody in your group, then just let us know when you book so we can cater for them. We regularly provide meals for a wide variety of needs including coeliac, diabetic, food allergies and vegetarian/vegan. All of our catering staff have received food allergy and food hygiene training.
If a child or group has any religious or cultural dietary requirements then we can also support them too!

What safety measures are in place at Beam House?

We have a huge emphasis on safety, starting with the recruitment of our staff and continuing through to all of our activities. As a founder member of BAPA (British Activity Providers Association) and a licence holder for activities in scope of AALA (Adventure Activities Licencing Authority) regulations, we make safety our priority.

A risk assessment has also been carried out at Beam House, with risks being outlined and managed. The risk assessment covers the grounds of Beam House, as well as all of the activities available at the centre.

Our Activity Instructors are experts in their area, trained and assessed both in-house and by external assessors. They’ll be there during every activity to make sure they’re completed safely and correctly.

New staff complete a comprehensive induction and job specific training followed by regular observations, feedback, reviews and assessments.

Is there parking available at Beam House?

Yes, Beam House has parking facilities available on-site.
