This page summarises our safety management systems and procedures to ensure we can prevent, prepare and manage any potential incidents and how we respond immediately with specialist support. We also summarise our travel industry accreditation to ensure our customers receive complete financial protection and comprehensive insurance coverage.
Our Safety Management System policy is a working document detailing the safety considerations and measures we’ve implemented. Our staff, suppliers, and surf camp partners must be familiar with this policy to ensure we continue operating according to industry best practices and meet school travel safety standards.
Our accommodation partners have all completed an industry-recognised health and safety audit and must receive an in-person inspection before accepting our school groups. We apply a similar activity supplier health and safety audit process to ensure the suitability of all surf school and adventurous activity providers.
All Schools Go Surfing destinations have received a comprehensive risk assessment to prevent incidents before they happen. Risk assessments also ensure our suppliers and partners comply with school travel operating standards and that we have the necessary processes and procedures for safe operation.
We hold clear emergency action and crisis management plans for all groups on tour, and our staff receive annual crisis and incident management training. In addition to contingency plans, effective communication protocols are in place to promptly contact emergency services, school administrators, and parents.
As members of the Protected Trust Services (No. 5642), we fully comply with the Package Travel Regulations and guarantee financial protection for our customers through the PTS trust account and insurance model. All payments are securely processed and held in the Trust Account until your departure, safeguarding your payments.
We hold an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (ATOL No. 11393). The ATOL scheme safeguards customers by ensuring they can finish their holiday and return home if the company collapses while on tour or receive a full refund if the collapse occurs before departure, offering complete financial peace of mind for our school clients and customers.
Our 24-hour emergency assistance line is available to all Trip Leaders and school staff members throughout their surf trip. Your Trip Duty Officer will support your group however required, including during your travel phases and to provide logistical or emergency assistance.
We hold Tour Operator Insurance, which includes combined liability, crisis event, and professional indemnity insurance. Our public liability cover is £10,000,000. Upon booking, all students and staff members will receive our comprehensive youth group travel insurance policy with Zurich.
We believe that it is unacceptable for a child or adult to experience abuse of any kind, and we recognise our responsibility to safeguard student and staff member welfare. Our child protection policy protects our groups and includes guidance for staff, trip leaders and suppliers.
We maintain a close working relationship with our suppliers, particularly our in-resort surf camp, surf school and accommodation partners. We hold professional working contracts with all surf camp partners to safeguard our school customers and guarantee meeting expectations and obligations.
We are constantly monitoring the FCDO travel advice for our destinations, and we’ll update you with any changes. Should the FCDO advise against all but essential travel to your destination within two months of departure, we will schedule a meeting to discuss alternative arrangements.
When booking with us, you will receive ongoing support from the minute you sign up. We’ll help you choose the best destination and successfully promote your surf trip before introducing a dedicated Programme Manager to support you throughout the build-up to departure process.
