A day at PGL…

4. WHY go? Getting out there. We think it’s a great way to learn.
A PGL adventure will nurture and challenge your children; bringing out the best in them. Realise the potential in every individual to reach higher and achieve more.

16. FAQ
Are the staff DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked? Yes, all PGL staff are list 99 checked and cleared by the DBS at Enhanced Disclosure level. Non UK residents are subject to the equivalent checks in their home country. Are your activity instructors qualified? Yes, all our instructors are carefully selected and highly trained. See details of our Operating Standards, Codes of Practice and Risk Assessments by clicking the links on the website.

17. FAQ
My child can’t swim, can he/she still take part? You must inform the party leader of your child’s swimming ability. Water confidence is adequate for some activities or we will make alternative arrangements so that your child does not miss out. It is my child’s birthday whist they are away, can you organise a cake? If the party leader is aware of this, we will make every effort to organise a cake and ensure that the day is special.
