Insurance

No liability will be accepted by Carraig Linguistic Services or its employees, sub contractors or any third parties for Agent’s failure to obtain insurance.

It is a condition of attendance that all groups have sufficient travel insurance, medical insurance and personal liability insurance which covers them against cancellations, charges, medical costs, repatriation and loss of money or personal belongings, personal injury, and claims against third parties.  Evidence of insurance should be supplied to Carraig Linguistic Services before arrival at the School.  Carraig Linguistic Services will have Public Liability Insurance necessary for the School.


Group Leader

Please note that we only accept groups of students – never individuals – and we only accept students between 11 – 17 years old.  The groups must always be accompanied by the necessary number of group leaders.  The minimum student number per group is 15.

It is the duty of the Agent to organise and choose a group leader for every 15/20 students. 

While here in Ireland the Group Leader enjoys:
• Free accommodation.
• Free travel while accompanying students during the stay of the group.

In return, there must be group leader presence and supervision every place there are students, with or without teachers. 

The Group Leader:
• Controls and disciplines the group.
• Accompanies the students on excursions and other activities
• Checks that each student is in school every day.
• If the student is absent from school, the group leader checks why and if necessary visits the sick student at the host family.
• Accompanies the student to the Doctor, hospital etc.

The well being of the group depends on the quality of the group leader.  Therefore we expect the group leader to be mature, responsible, experienced in dealing with young people e.g. a teacher, and they must also have good English.

 

Accommodation

Accommodation is host family accommodation for each group.  Host families are carefully chosen by Carraig Linguistic Services and may be a married couple or a single person with or without children.  Full accommodation consists of bed & breakfast, packed lunch and evening meal. 

Students do not have access to the host family kitchen to make their own meals unless otherwise stated.  Sleeping arrangements are generally in a shared twin bedded room.
Sunday is a family day spent with the host family.

 

Student Obligation

Students are required to:

• Accept the authority of any decision of the employees representatives, agents, and local teachers of Carraig Linguistic Services.
• At all times comply with the laws and customs of the country (Ireland).
• Behave sensibly, appropriately and reasonably at all times and show proper consideration for other people.
• Attend all lessons and participate in the extra curricular activities.
• Refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol or non prescription drugs at all times. 
• Refrain from leaving the course, or home stay accommodation without adult supervision or written parental consent.  On excursions and      cultural visits there may be a limited period of free time where the student may explore the area, do some shopping or complete an activity that does not require supervision.
• Comply with all rules and regulations designed to assure student safety.

The Agent is required to ensure that all students and group leaders are aware of the student obligations and to comply with these.  Carraig Linguistic Services reserves the right to terminate the enrolment of any student for habitual abuse of these rules.  The Agent must repatriate the student at the Agent’s expense especially in the case of:

• Shoplifting.
• Criminal damage to person or property
• Alcohol, cigarette or non prescription drug abuse.

 

Health & Safety

You must report (on the enrolment form) any mental or physical illness, allergies, disability or conditions that could interfere with the students ability to participate successfully in the programme, that may impact on the health and well being of any other student or staff member or that may require monitoring, treatment or emergency intervention of any kind during the students’ stay.

Carraig Linguistic Services must be notified of any health changes at the end of the booking.  Carraig Linguistic Services reserves the right to terminate a students enrolment if the students participation in the Course represents a risk to their own health and safety and well being as well as that of other students and staff.

 

Travel Arrangements

 

Carraig Linguistic Services does not arrange travel to Ireland.  All travel arrangements must be arranged by the Agent through a designated Travel Agent.

The student is responsible for obtaining all necessary travel documents, including a valid passport and visa.  Carraig Linguistic Services will help with travel arrangements within Ireland and will supply visa application support documents on request.

Carraig Linguistic Services is not responsible for any elements of the trip which are considered to be the Agents responsibility and that are not part of the course.

Complaints

Carraig Linguistic Services trusts that all students will be satisfied with the course, activities and accommodation.  If there is dissatisfaction about any of our services, the complaint should be made immediately to the group-leader, or a member of our staff, and certainly not after the departure date.

Every complaint will be taken seriously and Carraig Linguistic Services will address it and respond as quickly as possible.
