Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everybody’s business. Everyone at The Dartington Trust is expected to have a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to harm and abuse. All staff should be prepared to recognise and respond if they suspect this is occurring. By law, certain groups of people are protected by safeguarding legislation. At Dartington we apply these principles to everyone whether or not they have additional protection in law.
As a customer of Dartington, if you have any concerns about the safety or wellbeing of anyone on the estate, please bring it to the attention of any member of staff.
We specifically ask that children and adults at risk are accompanied at all times by a responsible adult in our venues and on estate grounds.

dartington membership: parking permits
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully as they relate to your use of the car parking permit and use of car parking within the Dartington Trust Estate.
Dartington Trust Land is Private Property and is strictly for the parking of motor vehicles when complying with the Trust’s Parking Terms & Conditions shown below and the Operational Policies for Car Parking.
The car parks, including roadways are private property and are managed by Total Parking Solutions (TPS) on behalf of The Dartington Trust.
All vehicles are required to park within a designated parking space or area. Vehicles must not park on double red/yellow lines, footpaths, obstruct fire doors or emergency exits, park adjacent to dropped kerbs, and in any hatched areas, or park in a time controlled zone beyond the permissible period. No vehicle may park in an area that is cordoned off with the use of traffic cones or barriers. Vehicles must not park in areas which may cause an obstruction, including within the zigzags of/or on a pedestrian crossing.
It is important to the effective management of the car parks that all vehicle drivers comply with all signs within the car parks. Vehicle drivers must comply with all verbal or written instructions issued by authorised officers of TPS or the Dartington Trust in respect of parking of their vehicles.
It is the permit holder’s responsibility to keep Dartington Trust updated with any car number plate registration changes.
Permit holders who are disabled (Blue Badge and accessible parking schemes) may park in public disabled bays. If one is not available, please speak to a Car Park Attendant and suitable provision will be made.
All other permit holders are not permitted to park in public disabled bays, contractors’ compounds or other public areas without prior authorisation from either TPS or The Dartington Trust. Permit holders must display the relevant permit to show authorisation to park in such circumstances.
Failure to comply with these Terms & Conditions and the car parking policies means that you are contractually agreeing to pay a £100 parking charge within 28 days. The Parking Charge Notice will be reduced to £60.00 if payment is received within 14 days. Failure to pay the charge in full within 28 days will result in the charge increasing. TPS also reserves the right to transfer collection of this charge to a third party. This may incur additional charges. Please note: failure to pay a Parking Charge Notice, once issued, will result in the vehicle keeper’s details being requested from the DVLA. Please note that any dispute, appeal or complaint arising as a result of a PCN must be directed to TPS.
TPS and the Dartington Trust accept no liability for vehicles parked in their car parks or grounds.
All parking with the Dartington Trust estate is subject to availability. A parking permit does not automatically entitle a vehicle to a car parking space. During busy periods, the Dartington Hall Trust may designate additional/alternative car parking.
Occasionally it can take a few days for members vehicle details to be added to our parking system. In the unlikely event that you receive a fine, please contact membership@dartington.org and as long as you are a valid member with parking, we will cancel this for you.
More information on TPS’ policies can be found at www.totalparking.co.uk
