The child will be provided with a visitor pass which will be returned to Reception on departure.
Visits of more than 30 minutes
All other requests should be submitted at least 3-working days before the proposed visit by completing the AMBS Children on Campus Request form. Requests will be reviewed by a senior member of the AMBS Operations Teams.
If approved, a relevant risk assessment will be provided for completion. The child will be provided with a visitor pass which will be returned to Reception on departure.
Reception Area
Staff/PGRs waiting in Reception with children are welcome to do so for a short period of time, but children should always remain with them and safely seated. Please follow any directions from the Reception team.
