The health, safety and security of our students and staff is our first priority. At LIYSF we have a rigorous and independently verified safety assessment protocol.

Safety is of paramount importance at LIYSF. We work closely with our suppliers to maintain and improve safety standards wherever possible. Through our assessment process and ‘TravelSafe’ safety management programme, we actively seek good practice in health and safety and we do our best to ensure that our event is as safe and trouble-free as we can make it.
