Do I need a Disclosure check? A: Yes, you do. 24.10.08 Q: I see that you are organising shopping trips on a daily basis, does this mean that all Groups have to use this service or can we organise our own shopping trip? A: Groups are encouraged to use the event's shopping trips where possible but where a Group wants to organise their own shopping, they can, provided that there are still adults available on site to deal with any issues that arise with your young people and you should ensure that your shopping trips are carried out between 9am and 5pm. You should also be aware that due to the large number of vehicles that will be at Auchengillan, it will not be possible for everyone to get access to their car to drive off-site during the event and their will be no Group vehicles allowed to move around the site for the duration of the event. 24.10.08 Q: Do all of our adults have to stay on-site at all times or can they go off-site, into a local town on their day-off? A: Their should be enough adults (a minimum of two) on-site to deal with anything that might arise with your Groups young people at all times. That aside, adults are free to go off-site if they are not "on duty" but all adults will be expected to return to site by a reasonable hour each night and the leadership team will be expected to ensure that they look after the needs of their young people at all times. 24.10.08 More Info... | News: Looking for recruitment help?
