The policy and guidance documents posted here should be read and carefully observed by HBTSR members and volunteers in all the group’s activities. They are reviewed regularly by the Trustees and will be updated as required.

Our golden rule is ‘if you are not sure whether it is safe to do something, then don’t do it!’ And PLEASE trust your judgment , if something worries you then share this with a Trustee and don’t do it.
