Find out more about a specific activity or destination

These days, schools offer children the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities - from museum visits to abseiling and skiing - all of which are an integral part of your child's growth and development. But, as a parent, you're also concerned about safety.

In 1996, UK legislation was introduced that requires Activity Centres to hold licences for certain activities. If a school is taking pupils on any of these activities, the Centre they are using must be licensed to provide them.

If your son or daughter is visiting an Activity Centre with the school (or even on holiday), you can visit the AALA website to check for what activities the Centre is licensed . Remember that a Centre need not be licensed to offer an activity to individuals, but may require a licence to offer the same activity to groups.

Finally, if your child is going abroad, or on a trip not involving an Activity Centre, our Links and Resources will help you to find some of the information you might like to know.
