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.
