Recognised Standards

All of our UK and overseas watersports centres are RYA (Royal Yachting Association) recognised training centres for sailing, windsurfing and powerboat activities. This recognition is subject to satisfactory completion of an annual inspection of safety management systems, quality of equipment, facilities and standards of tuition.

Adventure Activities Licence (AALA) or equivalent

Rockley Watersports LTD holds an Adventure Activities Licence for the provision of 'scheduled' activities as required by the:

• Activity Centres (Young Persons' Safety) Act 1995,
• Adventure Activities Licensing Regulations 1996 and the subsequent amendments to that act.
• Adventure Activities Licensing Regulations 2004.

Where a centre operates outside of the scope of the UK AALA scheme, equivalent standards are employed and conditions of any local licensing authority, such as the Department de Jeunesse Sport  (DDJS) in France, are adhered to.

Health and Safety Management

We always comply with and very often exceed all statutory UK and local Health and Safety requirements and can provide group leaders and administrative bodies with the necessary documentation to assist with your trip approval process.

Local Authority Approval

Our schools team have a thorough understanding of 'good practice' in terms of organising school trips and the requirements of either the local authority outdoor education department or your own school governing body's approval processes. We can provide help and advice for group leaders, as well as give access to our online Group Leader's Guide designed to guide you through the process from beginning to end.
