Planning activities for sessions that are fun and engaging to the service user and appropriate to their needs.

Follow PMActive policies and procedures to ensure our sessions are safe and the welfare of attendees is at the forefront of what we do.
Report any safeguarding concerns to a member of the PMActive management team as soon as these are identified.
