Participant Code of ConductResidential

Future Foundations is responsible for the day-to-day running of the programme including your accommodation, activities and pastoral care.

To help everyone enjoy a safe, supportive and inspiring experience, all participants are expected to follow Future Foundations’ Code of Conduct.

✅ Code of Conduct – Overview

As a participant, you agree to:

  • Treat everyone with respect and kindness
  • Take part fully and give my best
  • Look after the space and equipment
  • Follow instructions and stay safe
  • Keep my phone away during sessions
  • Live the Future Foundations values

If you do not follow this agreement, your parent/carer may be contacted.

In serious cases, you may be asked to leave the programme early, and your school may also be informed.

Full Code of Conduct

These guidelines are here to help everyone feel welcome, supported and safe.

How We Treat Others

  • Be kind and respectful to everyone – fellow participants, staff, volunteers, and community members (this includes other guests and residents on site at a venue).

  • Include others and listen with empathy.

  • Bullying, teasing, or exclusion will not be tolerated.

How We Show Up

  • Bring your full energy and commitment to all activities.

  • Be honest and take responsibility for your actions.

  • Ask for help if you need it – we’re here to support you.

Respecting the Space

  • Respect all venues, accommodation and equipment.

  • Stay in your own room after bedtime. Don’t enter other people’s rooms.

  • If anything is damaged due to carelessness, your parent/carer may be asked to cover the cost.

Staying Safe

  • Follow all staff instructions – they are in place to keep everyone safe.

  • Stay on site unless you’re with a staff member.

  • Do not bring or use alcohol, drugs, weapons or engage in illegal behaviour. Serious breaches may be reported to authorities.

Mobile Phones and Electronic Devices

  • We encourage pupils to be fully present during their time at camp and to get involved in activities and building new friendships.  Like at school, devices should be turned off and out of sight during learning sessions, meals, group activities and programmed events.
  • Devices should not be used in bedrooms out of respect for other pupils sharing the bedroom, and to aid sleep.
  • If a pupil would like to contact home, there will be a dedicated period after dinner.
  • If a pupil needs to contact home at any other time, they should speak to a member of staff and we will help them get in touch.
  • If families need to contact your child urgently, please use our 24/7 emergency phone number (see contact details) rather than calling their mobile.
  • Phones and other personal belongings are brought to camp at your own risk. While we will take reasonable care of items handed in to us, we cannot accept responsibility for loss, theft or damage.
  • Please do not bring other electronic devices such as tablets, iPads, laptops, games consoles or smart speakers unless we have specifically asked you to do so.
  • Don’t take photos or videos of others without their permission.

Our Shared Values

We follow the Future Foundations principles – and invite you to do the same:

  • Take Responsibility – for yourself and your impact on others

  • Pursue Your Passion – bring your unique energy and curiosity

  • Contribute Your Talents – help where you can and support others

  • Enjoy the Journey – stay present and make the most of each moment

  • Be Authentic – be true to yourself and let others be, too

Your Commitment

By attending this programme, you agree to follow this Code of Conduct.

If you seriously break these expectations, we may contact your parent/carer, and you could be asked to leave the programme early. This would always be a last resort and handled with care.  We may also contact your school that nominated you to take part to make them aware.

If you’re ever feeling worried, unwell, or unsure, talk to a member of staff – we are here for you.

Support

Future Foundations will have a pastoral team onsite throughout the residential, including:

  • Pastoral parents

  • Course leadership team – Camp Director and Operations Director 

  • Coaches 

Our team will be available to support your participation. We will have a staff rota in place, with team members on hand at all times – including overnight – so you always have someone to talk to if you need help, feel unwell or just want a listening ear.
