Risk Assessment 2016 Here at 4 Kingdoms Adventure Park we consider the Health and Safety of our visitor’s utmost priority. We have regular checks in place to ensure that the farm and its equipment is assessed and kept in good condition for all to enjoy.
Parent/Group Leaders are responsible for the well fare and supervision of children in their care on and around the park, even if there are farm staff present. Any First Aid will be responsibility of the Parents or Group Leaders
