​How will you look after the general safety of our pupils?

All our workshop activities are risk assessed and our risk assessment will be sent to you when we confirm your booking. We ask you to then combine this with your site risk assessment (whether that be the school grounds or a local park). 

 

I am DBS checked and am on the Update Service so you can check my status at the time, or prior to, our visit. I have received full safeguarding training through the RSPB and the City of London.

 

We expect a teacher to be present at all times during our workshops. Hopefully, your pupils will be fully engaged, but please remember that discipline is your responsibility. We retain the right to end a workshop if we believe the behaviour of a child is compromising their own or anyone else’s safety. 

 

 

 

What indoor and outdoor space do you need?

We would normally use the greenest areas of your school grounds, areas where you have at least a few different wildlife habitats e.g. a grassy patch with some trees/bushes/flowerbeds. If it is more suitable, we can use a park within easy walking distance (max 15 mins walk) of your school. 

​

Some of our workshops have a 5-minute video introduction. We will send you a link to access the video along with teacher's notes so that you can deliver it independently. We will then meet you at school or at an agreed meeting point in your local park.

​

What if it is cold and rainy on the day you are due to visit?

The rain can be a blessing in disguise as many creatures love getting wet - think worms, snails and slugs! We live by the motto ‘ there is no wrong weather only the wrong clothing’ and we will remind you to let parents know that their child will be learning outside on the day we visit. That said, we will not run workshops in dangerous weather conditions such as persistent heavy rain, gale force winds or extreme temperatures. Instead we will be in touch to reschedule your workshop at no added cost to you.

How do we book?

You can call me on 0796 6636155 or email me at joanna@earthwhisperer.co.uk or use the contact form to get in touch.

 

 

How do we pay?

After our visit we will invoice you. If we are delivering over several consecutive days at your school, we will invoice you once for them all when we have delivered all your workshops.

What is your cancellation policy?

Our cancellation policy will be emailed to you when you make an enquiry.​ On the rare occasion we may need to postpone a workshop due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances, we will of course book you in again as a matter of priority.
