5. Behavioural Expectations
Children may be allocated external rooms, which, for safety purposes are locked from the inside (the centre has keys). However, these mean that it is possible for children to open their door to the outside.
As a consequence, it will be stressed to the children that they are to stay in their rooms.
Children and parents have signed a behavioural agreement, which will be read to them and reiterated at the start of the trip.
It would be useful to go through this again with your child beforehand – if they breach this, then you may be asked to come and collect them early. (Please ask if you need another copy).
