Completed Pastoral Care forms must be received by us BEFORE we can accept your child at camp. We reserve the right to exclude any child arriving at camp where completed Pastoral Care forms have not been received by us prior to their arrival at Camp. 6.3 Children will be required to ensure that their behaviour is compatible with the orderly conduct of activities and that minimal disturbance to other visitors is caused and children are required at all times to follow the verbal and/or written instructions of our staff and comply with the Travel Rules.

In particular (and without limitation) you are required to advise us if your child has suffered from or been in contact with other persons or animals suffering from infectious or contagious diseases representing any threat to human health within the period of 4 weeks prior to the arrival date at Camp in which case we shall be entitled to cancel the booking of the child and the appropriate cancellation charges(calculated on a pro-rata basis where appropriate) will apply but may be reclaimable under the Travel Insurance if selected by you (terms and conditions apply – see policy for details).

All children are expected to abide by these rules and conditions. You must arrange for your child to be collected as soon as reasonably possible from when we contacted you. Any additional costs so incurred shall be entirely your responsibility and you shall reimburse any costs reasonably incurred by us in connection with the exclusion of your child (to include costs of arranging alternative care and/ or transportation). A refusal to collect your child at the camps request will result in a notification to the Head of Safeguarding who will follow the safeguarding procedures.

This may include but is not limited to mobility or medical problems, diagnosed conditions such as ADHD or Asperger’s Syndrome, past difficulties experienced such as being excluded from school or extended periods being cared for away from parents.

All information provided will be treated sensitively and confidentially. We are committed to making our holidays accessible to as many guests as possible but very occasionally we may not be able to provide the service required. Where such information is provided to us promptly and as required under these conditions and we cancel any booking made you shall be entitled to a full refund of any deposit or part of the price relating to the affected part of the booking as the case may be.

Serious breach may result in exclusion of your child in accordance with clause 6.5.
All transport routes are subject to minimum numbers and availability, and times may change depending on operational requirements. Any changes to routes or times will be notified to you as soon as is reasonable and where possible a suitable alternative will be provided.

If your booking is at Sweet Tree farm, your booking is subjected to the below extreme weather policy.
In the event of disruption caused by adverse weather, the prime concern of our organisation is to ensure the safety of our clients, staff, volunteers and other visitors to the site. The decision whether or not to close the farm service as a result of adverse weather will take into account the safety of clients, staff, volunteers and visitors, as well as the advice of the public services and National Weather Centre.
Farm staff will stay informed of the weather conditions via the Met Office app. We will always try to give 24 hours’ notice of closure, however we may need to cancel on the day if weather changes suddenly / overnight. We will inform parents, primary carers, or school group leaders by telephone, text or email at the earliest opportunity.
It is important to recognise that the services provided by SweetTree Fields Farm are delivered in an outdoor environment with minimal shelter from the outside weather. Those onsite will inevitably be exposed to and affected by the outside weather conditions, when both good and bad.
To mitigate the impact of poor weather, all of those attending the farm should only attend when they feel fit and well. Managing weather challenges is more difficult than normal without the proper nutrition, hydration, sleep, clothes, footwear and personal protective equipment.
We provide a kit list and advice on suitable clothing for all weather. Please email louise.stubbs@sweettree.co.uk if you would like a copy or to ask advice.
It should be noted that what constitutes adverse weather is very much up to the individual and therefore every visitor to the farm must decide whether or not to attend on any particular day, based on their own circumstances (considering factors such as local road conditions and the impact of adverse weather on the individual). Recognising that many clients and families rely on the farm being open to support clients, the team at the farm will always do their best to keep the farm open whenever possible.
Temperature
Wearing the right clothes, sunscreen, hydration and keeping physical activity to a minimum helps keep us safe during the summer.
Wrapping up warm, wearing boots with a good tread and keeping moving is key to enjoying the beauty of the farm in winter.
Whilst we generally agree that there’s no such thing as bad weather - only bad clothing, there are temperature extremes that may mean it’s safer for people to stay at home. This is especially important for infants or people who are over 60 years of age or have chronic health conditions.
| Temperature | Description | Comments |
| 0 degrees centigrade or lower (including wind chill factor) predicted continuously between 1000 and 1500 | Walk-ways and the farm drive continue to freeze which means access to the farm is compromised and there is an increased risk of slips and falls. All but essential travel is not advised. |
Service cancelled |
| 1-31 degrees centigrade predicted between 1000 and 1500 | Temperature is manageable with correct clothing, hydration, footwear, PPE, sun protection and activities. | Service open unless there is snow falling |
| 32 degrees centigrade or above predicted between 0900 and 1200 | Heatwave which may be considered a risk to health. Official advice is to remain indoors |
Service cancelled |
Rain and Storms
Experiencing the changing seasons is all part of the experience of an outdoor project. Staying dry can be the difference between spending a day enjoying the farm activities or squelching around in wet clothes and footwear!
There may be the rare day when mother nature conspires to keep us home and safe:
| Weather | Description | Comments |
| Flash flood | Flash flood warning is issued and predicted in the local area during 0800 and 1500 | Service cancelled |
| Lightening | Lightening is predicted in the local area between 1000 and 1500 | Service cancelled |
High Winds
We use the Beaufort Scale to assess risk and decide what action needs to be taken based on these observations. We have a digital anemometer to measure wind speed as the topography of the site can create differing speeds to those detailed in a weather forecast.
There may be instances where we decide to close the site in lower winds due to other factors. For example, when the trees are in full leaf.
| Beaufort Scale | Description and wind speeds (knots) | Land Signs | Comments |
| 0-3 | Calm to gentle breeze (less than 1- up to 10 knots/ 0-19 kph | At scale 3 – Light flags extended. Leaves in constant gentle motion | Ideal conditions. |
| 4 | Moderate breeze (11 – 16 knots/ 20– 28 kph | Most flags extend full, Small branches move. Dust and loose paper may be raised | Generally fine. |
| 5 | Fresh breeze (17 – 21 knots/ 29 –38 kph) |
Small trees in leaf sway. Tops of all trees in noticeable motion. | OK to continue provided site has been thoroughly checked for dead trees or branches but be prepared to move off site quickly if wind increases. |
| 6 | Strong breeze (22 – 27 knots/ 38 –49 kph) |
Large branches in motion. Whistling heard in wires. Umbrellas used with difficulty | Cancel session and move indoors. Consider evacuating site. |
| 7 | Near gale (28 – 33 knots/ 50 – 61 kph) |
Whole trees in motion. Inconvenience felt when walking against wind. | Cancel session and move indoors. Evacuate site. |
Our team at SweetTree Fields Farm thank you for your understanding and cooperation with these guidelines, and your support in keeping everyone safe.
