Awards

Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (AALA)

The Health and Safety Executive is a public body that acts as the regulator for workplace health and safety in Britain. Anyone wishing to provide adventure activities must hold their AALA License to give assurance that good safety management practice is being followed.

Council for Learning Outside the Classroom (CLOtC)

CLOtC is a UK-wide charity that champions all learning outside of the classroom by supporting schools to develop their education in different settings. They also support venues and organisations to ensure they provide a safe and efficient learning environment. As part of this, they award their Quality Badge, which is endorsed by the Department for Education, to places that provide quality learning and effective risk management. 

Calvert Exmoor is very pleased to have been assessed by CLOtC and be awarded their Quality Badge once again for December 2022 to December 2024.

AAIAC Adventure Mark

The Adventure Activities Industry Advisory Committee (AAIAC), the leading body for safety in adventure activities, awards their Adventurmark safety scheme to activity providers who manage potential risks and meet standards of good practice.

Calvert Exmoor was re-awarded the AAIAC Adventuremark for December 2022 to December 2024 because we meet the necessary standards for the safe delivery of adventure activities across abseiling, archery, climbing, bushcraft, canoeing, horse-riding, crate-stacking, orienteering, swimming, zip wires and more.

AHOEC Gold Standard

The Association of Heads of Outdoor Education Centre (AHOEC), an organisation made up of members holding senior positions in outdoor centres and learning around the UK, sets higher standards of service, care, and quality beyond those set by CLOtC, AAIAC, and AALA.

Calvert Exmoor was awarded the AHOEC Gold Standard Accreditation in October 2022, having been inspected across a range of areas including compliance with codes of conducts, learning and development, customer care, safety management, facilities, leadership and management, environmental sustainability, compliance and insurance, and continuous improvement.
