Typical hazards & measures
Safeguarding and sleeping arrangements
— Separate staff and young people, group by age/sex per policy, and keep two adults on duty overnight. Use a single, signed-in gate, issue wristbands, and restrict access to visitors with visible badges.
Campsite selection and layout
— Choose level, well-drained ground away from hazards and overhead lines. Map clear paths to water/toilets, pitch leaders to oversee approaches and tent doors, and brief boundaries, quiet hours, and muster points at arrival.
Medication storage and administration
— Collect medical info in advance, store medicines securely yet accessible, and log every dose (what/when/who). Train named staff, carry spare inhalers/EpiPens, and protect personal data during transport.
Food safety: chilling and the danger zone
— Pre-chill coolers, keep high-risk foods ≤8 °C, minimise time between prep–cook–serve, and discard perishable leftovers that exceed safe time/temperature windows. Keep dairy and salads properly chilled until service.
Food safety: cooking temperatures
— Probe the thickest part of meats to a validated time/temperature (e.g., 70 °C for 2 min or equivalent). Clean the probe between checks, batch-record results, and avoid charring the exterior while leaving raw centres.
