Help OFF Quick Website IntroThere are no special requirements for a visit to Wightlink Ferries.
One of the most common issues faced by teachers when planning trips is ensuring that all of the relevant paperwork is in place, and that the lead teacher and their assistants are fully briefed about each venue before they arrive.
Our experienced teachers have done most of this work for you. In this section you'll find a sample Risk Assessment covering all of the typical activities undertaken at Wightlink Ferries by groups of students, along with a detailed "On The Day" Procedure which sets out everything you need to know about the site before you get there.
If there are any other mandatory considerations, such as HSE advice sheets for animal attractions or outdoor activity centres, you'll also find these below.
Help OFF Quick Website IntroWe do not hold a generic risk assessment for this venue at present, although we are working on this and it will be published in advance of any visits booked here.
We appreciate that you may need to conduct your own assessment, and we will happily arrange a site visit for you. Simply contact us to request this.
COMING SOON! - we're currently working on this document and it will be published in advance of any visits booked here.
