11.The swimming pool:
This is a danger zone for all young children and it is
in the interests of all
parents/adults residing at the property to never leave
children unattended around the pool area. Any safety
devices in place are an aid to prevent the loss of life
but there can be no substitute for adult supervision at
all times.
12.Use of Public Funds:
I as the owner of the property reserve the right to
cancel, at any point, any holiday booked paid for with
the use of Public Funds.
At the end of the day, the life of a child cannot be
replaced whether a swimming
pool is considered to meet the current requirements or
not, but I as the owner have tried to make every effort
to respect these new regulations and maximise the safe
keeping of the pool area for your pleasure and security.
I, as the owner of the property, cannot accept any
responsibility for parental action or lack of, in this
respect during residency at the property - remember
nothing can substitute vigilance and it is without doubt
the responsibility of the adults concerned to maintain
an active surveillance of the pool area at all times.
The swimming pool is now completely fenced of with a
1m20 high security fence to comply with the new
regulations desired but as yet there is no official body
to inspect this at this stage.
The keys for the entry gate is on your house keys and
you are strongly advised to keep this gate closed at all
times and padlocked overnight and on days out to
maximize the benefit of this and help avoid any unwanted
incidents.
The swimming pool is also equipped with an alarm to
comply with these conformity regulations brought in from
2004.
The booking form, signed by the head of the party,
accepts these terms and booking conditions on behalf of
himself and all members of his party residing at the
property for the duration of his holiday.
