The organiser protects children at camp

• A current safeguarding and child-protection policy appropriate to the camp and nation in which it operates.
• A named safeguarding lead, reporting route and escalation procedure.
• Safer recruitment, role-appropriate checks, training and supervision.
• First-aid, medical, emergency, attendance, arrival and approved-collection procedures.
• Risk assessments for the activity, venue, transport, accommodation and overnight care where relevant.
• A way to record, restrict access to and retain safeguarding incidents appropriately.

Requirements vary by role, activity, frequency, age, duration, nation and whether childcare or regulated activity is involved. A FormSide listing must not claim that a generic DBS badge, qualification or platform listing proves compliance.

• Requires key arrival, collection, contact and logistics information before a camp can be published.
• Separates optional photography permission from required booking acceptance.
• Restricts participant, emergency and medical information to authorised organiser roles.
• Provides booking and payment audit records without making a safeguarding endorsement.
• May suspend a listing or account where credible information indicates unlawful, unsafe or misleading use of the service.

Ask the organiser for its policy, safeguarding lead, collection arrangements, insurance, first-aid provision and the checks relevant to the adults involved. A claim about DBS status, registration, qualification or insurance should be verified with the organiser; FormSide does not currently verify or award those badges.

The DfE guidance for parents using out-of-school settings applies in England. Different arrangements apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

To report a listing that appears misleading, unlawful or unsafe, email support@formside.app. FormSide support is not an emergency or statutory safeguarding service.
