SAFETY
At Shalom Valley, the safety and well-being of every guest - especially children and youth - is our highest priority. We are committed to maintaining a secure, well-managed environment through strong policies, trained staff, and ongoing risk prevention measures.
Risk Assessment and Management
Comprehensive risk assessments are conducted for all activities and facilities. These are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that all potential hazards are identified, minimized, and managed effectively.
We follow strict safeguarding procedures to protect children and vulnerable individuals, including clear reporting structures, supervision guidelines, and a code of conduct for all staff and volunteers.
