We have 14 years experience of running Safeguarding & Child Protection courses for climbing walls and a wide range of other organisations. 

Awareness of the potential problems that can arise from children and vulnerable adults being in contact with those who would try to harm them has increased greatly over the past 30 years. This has resulted in organisations that take responsibility for young people, both on a voluntary and professional basis, having to review their operating procedures. This has enabled them to provide support and guidance to adults working with young people and vulnerable adults.

Child welfare is the responsibility of everyone and organisations are required to have a Child Safeguarding Policy in place. Weightman Associates can offer training courses and/or support with Safeguarding Policies & Procedures to enable organisations to meet their Duty of Care in this area.

We offer a wide range of climbing/mountaineering courses from Beginner to Advanced Level; we also run taster days and courses for groups and individuals. These courses are mainly run in Leicestershire or Peak District. Other climbing/mountain areas of the UK can be utilised on request. Individual Guiding on classic multi-pitch climbs is also catered for in North Wales, Lake District and Scotland.

Rock climbing provides a unique combination of mental and physical challenge. Level of difficulty can be matched to the individuals’ ability.

Reaching the top of a challenging climbing route, no matter what the height, is an adrenaline pumping experience.
