Safety Policy

Boots ’n’ Paddles places great emphasis on the safety and comfort of our clients. We only employ suitably qualified, well trained staff and use only modern, correctly maintained equipment. However, many of the activities that we offer are hazardous by their nature and participants must accept a certain element of risk during their activity session. Parents and guardians must also recognise a degree of risk to their children.

To ensure everybody’s safety as far as possible, we reserve the right to postpone or cancel the activities on offer as weather or group needs dictate. If we believe that individuals are placing themselves or the group at risk by their actions, we reserve the right to remove the person(s) concerned from the activity.

Boots ’n’ Paddles are licensed by the UK Government Adventurous Activities Licensing Authority (AALA). This involves an annual inspection of our risk assessments, operating guidelines, safety equipment and safety procedures by an AALA inspector.
