Revolutionising Safety Standards
We empower young people to push their comfort zones, grow out of their shells, try new things and put their potential to the test. And we can do this so effectively because of our dedication to offering safe places, services and experiences – all guided by expert leaders. We are proud to be the safe name in educational travel.
Our In Safe Hands commitment is a symbol of our unrivalled pastoral care. We use it across PGL Beyond, and our network of brands.
Our In Safe Hands framework is built on five protective pillars.
Our five In Safe Hands Pillars
Safe People
We follow safer recruitment, with centre-based colleagues given enhanced DBS checks, effective training and continuous monitoring to ensure they meet the highest safety standards. For our tours overseas, we work with a network of partners to provide local support and in-depth destination knowledge to provide additional peace of mind whilst you’re away.
Safe places
We have safety management systems in place for all our brands that meet the Government’s recommendations for educational safety. Our centres and buildings are effectively managed and risk assessed to ensure we mee the highest standards that our guests expect. For tours, all external accommodation and excursions are carefully audited to ensure the highest standards can be met.
Safe spaces
Every young person is an individual, so we strive to make our environments as inclusive as possible. We work hard to accommodate SEND and accessibility requirements and we request an open and flexible approach to help us meet your needs. We will ensure a fair assessment of service provision can be made and appropriate resources are identified. A code of conduct is required for all our experiences for everyone’s safety.
Safeguarding
Each of our brands is committed to being a best-in-class operator to ensure the safety and protection of everyone under our care. We take responsibility for promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk to protect them from harm, and we take great pride in our Ofsted Childcare registration for our PGL centres.
Safe travels
Every travel partner we work with is vetted to ensure they have effective safety management systems in place, specifically focused on travelling with young people. We aim to ensure travel provision is adaptable to meet the needs of our guests. All of our travel brands offer insurance included as standard unless otherwise stated, with 24 hour emergency cover support for overseas tours.
Our accreditations
We’re proud to have over 15 governing and safety accreditations which reflect our dedication to put the safety of our guests and colleagues at the centre of our operations.
