Important notes for students under 12 years of age

POLICY

UNDER 12

It is ALS Plus policy not to accept individual students under the age of 12.
If travelling in a group with one or more student under 12, Group Leaders must assume full
responsibility for the minor(s) throughout the duration of the programme, including overnight supervision. For safeguarding purposes, ALS Plus suggest a supervision ratio of 1 adult for
10 children, if one or more students present in the group are under 12. In order to arrange
appropriate supervision, students under 12 should be accommodated in rooms adjacent to
their Group Leaders.

Agents are to provide Police Checks for each Group Leader and ensure that Group Leaders
are aware that enhanced supervision is required for activities on and off campus.

Any booking for under 12s must have the prior approval of ALS Plus HEAD OFFICE/COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT.

Agents are also requested to inform ALS Plus Operations Department of the presence of any
under 12 students. In line with our student absence policy, teachers are required to immediately inform the Course Director if any under 12 is missing from class.

Upon arrival, Group Leaders must attend a campus induction with the Campus Manager,
which will include essential information on ALS Plus Safeguarding and Child Protection policy.

The members of our team have been carefully selected for their responsible and caring attitude and for being fun-loving and outgoing. They are the people you can turn to at any time for assistance. Our ALS Plus Team will ensure that students enjoy their holidays in an exciting and safe environment. ALS Plus promises a wonderful, memorable and enriching summer camp experience.

As a home stay student you will be treated as a full member of the household, you will be eating
together with the family, as well as sharing the common living areas. You are allowed to use the
family’s laundry facilities once a week and they will provide you with clean bed linen and towels
once a week. You should treat the hosts courteously and respectfully. Keep your room clean and
tidy and keep the noise to a minimum level, especially at night time. The families do not usually
live more than 1 hour by public transport from the ALS Plus campus. When you arrive on campus the
host family will pick you up. If it is not possible, the Campus Manager will arrange a taxi for you at
your own expenses. On your first day of school the family will show you the easiest route to the
campus to help you get there safely.
Things to remember:
 Give the host family your mobile number

is illegal in the UK for anyone under the age of 18 to buy alcohol or cigarettes
 If you wish to join an evening activity, your Group Leader has to ask for authorisation
from the Campus Manager at least 48 hours in advance. Your Group Leader will give you
a “Family Late Night Authorisation” form which you will have to give to the host family.
You are not allowed to be back home later than 11pm and if you do return to campus for
the evening you are responsible for your return transport
If any of these rules are broken the host family will immediately report to the Family Organiser or

necessary inform the agent and your parents, and take necessary action.
