Your child's safety is our primary concern. The Forest School ethos recognises that an important part of learning and development is allowing children the opportunity to assess risk for themselves but that doesn't mean we will not be keeping them safe. We work with the principle of 'dynamic risk assessment' meaning we are always on our toes making sure the risks of any activity or play never outweigh the benefits. We will always ensure everyone has understood the safety guidelines and we will work with children to find the right way to navigate any challenges that might arise with safety or behaviour.

Rachel has enhanced DBS status,  Safeguarding training, Outdoor and Paediatric First aid training, Outdoor Food Hygiene training and many years experience of working in Early Years, Primary and Outdoor Education.
