Policy
Anglia now operates its coach tours through Coach Connections, part
of the Kings Ferry Group. Connections only use coach operators that meet the
exacting standards of the Kings Ferry group that fully meet the requirements of
our Safety Management System.
Anglia Battlefield Tours Ltd offers an
excellent range of accommodation in all of our destinations that suit
all budgets. All accommodation that we use conforms to local safety
regulations, and many have installed extra safety features above and
beyond those required by European regulations. As part of its Safety
Management System, ABT has set a standard for accommodation that can be
measured. If a hotel or hostel is used more than three times a year, it
is personally visited on an annual basis by either one of our Directors
or our Safety Management Consultant to ensure that standards are
maintained and that any improvements requested have been implemented.
All of our tours are
fully guided, but in addition we provide Group Leaders with an
emergency Duty Officer mobile number in the event of an emergency en
route to collect guides or after guides have been dropped off. As you
can imagine with our background, the response will be fast and
efficient.
Coaches come in a variety of sizes. Anglia will always use Executive 49 seater coaches for the bulk of its tours. Coach Connections have been directed to ensure that coach operators provide drivers who have empathy with young people. The driver will be responsible for all matters relating to safety onboard the vehicle but will relay all advice on such matters to the school through our guides.
Coach
drivers do not run our tours - we do!
