Your child's wellbeing comes first.
Safety isn't just a policy for us — it's the foundation of everything we do. Here's how we protect and look after every child in our care.
Safety-checked and vetted staff
All team members undergo appropriate background checks and vetting as part of our staff selection process.
First-aid coverage
AfterBell Adventures plans to maintain first-aid coverage across all programmes to respond quickly and calmly to any health needs.
Secure sign-in and sign-out
Every child is signed in and signed out by name. Only authorised adults may collect children from the programme.
Child-protection procedures
Our team operates under clear child-protection policies and knows how to respond if any concern arises.
Emergency management plans
Location-specific emergency and evacuation procedures are prepared and communicated to all staff before a programme begins.
Appropriate supervision
We maintain appropriate staff-to-child ratios to ensure every child receives proper attention and oversight at all times.
