Confidentiality.
In order to provide the best possible service we keep a record of your details, your academic record and your contacts with us.

This record can only be accessed by authorised staff or representatives who need to see this information as part of their work.

Equal Opportunities.
Our School welcomes enquiries from all young people and adults regardless of age, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, disability (though some levels of disability will prevent a place being offered on some riding courses), gender, marital status, background or religion. Weight limits are, however, imposed for some courses.

Our School is committed to the aim of offering equality opportunity to all.

If you have a disability, or have problems that affect the way you use our service, we will be happy to discuss the best way to help you.

Feedback, Comments and Complaints.
To help us to continuously improve our service and address points raised by the recipients of our training, we actively invite suggestions, comments, compliments or complaints (this may be anonymous if preferred).

All courses close with a written feedback sheet. Alternatively, points can be raised at any time with a member of staff.

We hope that you are happy with the service you receive but if you are not then we will investigate and deal with any difficulties you experience.

There is a clear complaints policy which specifies how complaints are handled and where unresolved complaints may be directed.

If you have a complaint then we will treat it in confidence and will do our best to resolve it fairly and quickly in accordance with our complaints procedures.

Data Protection
Our School complies with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.
