carefully and communicate any relevant information to staff, helpers, parents

Group Responsibility including
Discipline & Supervision
Visiting
staff are in loco parentis at all times.
Therefore visiting staff are responsible for the supervision, safe
behaviour and wellbeing of their group members, ensuring all health and safety
procedures are adhered to as advised by Magdalen staff during the introductory
talks and risk assessments. Each group must have a designated first aider with
them and ensure that all medicines and medical information are with the group
at all times. Magdalen is a working farm
therefore all students must be accompanied at all times. Magdalen reserves the right to terminate
activities if there is inadequate supervision or poor discipline.
Lunch
We recommend a refillable drinks bottle
to avoid dehydration. Light refreshments
and snacks are included throughout the day.
Lunch is provided by Magdalen and can be adjusted to suit
the dietary requirements of individuals with prior notice.
Clothing
Regardless
of the weather - we don’t stop unless we absolutely have to, so please advise
everyone to wear adequate OLD clothing for wet/warm/cold weather – plenty of
layers are best. This includes a woolly
hat, wellies, thick socks, waterproof jacket, waterproof trousers, sun cream,
and a sunhat according to the weather conditions. A spare set of clothing is advisable.
Risk Assessments
Risk
assessments for all activities are available upon request. If at any time visiting staff are unhappy
about an activity, it is essential they make their concerns known to your
Magdalen leader at the earliest opportunity.
Farmland, Water, Bio-security and
Animals
Adults
should ensure that children follow the advice given in the introductory talk
from Magdalen leader, as well as guidance from risk assessments. It is the responsibility of visiting staff to
ensure the group wash and dry their hands thoroughly before and after eating,
after any contact with animals, and after every activity.
First Aiders and First Aid Kits
Magdalen
leaders carry first aid kits when out on the farm away from the centre however
we do ask that all groups bring a designated qualified first aider and a first
aid kit, to provide minor first aid. The designated first aider should
also carry all medication and emergency contact details and medical information
for everyone in the party.
