Safety & Quality

It's the expertise that makes the difference!

At Acclimbatize we consider that safety and quality are intrinsic. We recognise our responsibility to conduct activities within a solid framework of safety.

We are privileged to employ some of the most highly qualified and experienced instructors in the country, our equipment store is of first class standard and accordingly our insurance details and safety policy are available to all visits co-ordinators.

We identify that managing risk is a transferrable life skill and in some circumstances we may actively encourage participants to become engaged in the process of risk assessment at the planning stages, while undertaking activity and during debriefing and reviews.

This process is known as 'Risk Benefit Management'

It is now law that providers of adventure activities to young people under 18 need to be licensed. Acclimbatize holds the appropriate licence. Our Adventure Activity Licensing Authority Reference number is R1224.

Quality is measured by using key indicators such as participation, enjoyment, skill acquisition, improved confidence and social awareness.

We strategically organise our programmes to accomplish maximum engagement and achieve best value for time.
