Policy Overview
Bridlington CYP (Children and Young People) is committed to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all users of our facilities. This policy outlines the requirements and responsibilities for hiring bouncy castles for events.
Approved Bouncy Castle Hire Companies
Approved Vendors: Bouncy castles must be booked exclusively through Bridlington CYP approved companies. A list of approved vendors can be provided upon request.
Safety Standards: All approved vendors must adhere to the highest safety standards and provide evidence of valid insurance and compliance with relevant safety regulations.
Supervision Requirements
1. Hirer’s Responsibility:
Supervision: The hirer must ensure that the bouncy castle is supervised at all times during use. This supervision must be carried out by a responsible adult who is familiar with the safety guidelines provided by the hire company.
Safety Briefing: The supervising adult must receive a safety briefing from the hire company or Bridlington CYP staff before the event starts.
Incident Reporting: Any incidents or accidents must be reported immediately to Bridlington CYP staff.

Optional Supervision Service: Bridlington CYP offers an optional supervision service for an additional charge. This service includes trained staff who will oversee the safe use of the bouncy castle for the duration of the event.
Booking Supervision: The request for Bridlington CYP supervision must be made at the time of booking the bouncy castle. Late requests may not be accommodated.
Supervision Charges: The additional charge for supervision services will be outlined in the hire agreement and must be paid in full prior to the event.
Weather and Safety Monitoring
Outdoor Set-Up:
Wind Monitoring: If the bouncy castle is set up outside, Bridlington CYP will monitor wind conditions. If it becomes too windy, bouncy castle use may be stopped until the wind dies down to ensure safety.
Supervision Role: In all cases where CYP staff are providing supervision, they will continuously monitor wind speed throughout the event.
Wind-Related Cancellations:
During Event: If wind speeds increase to unsafe levels during the event, requiring the bouncy castle to be deflated, no refunds will be given.
Before Event: If wind speeds are too high to safely set up the bouncy castle initially, a full refund will be provided.
Terms and Conditions
Liability: Bridlington CYP does not accept liability for any injuries or damages resulting from the use of the bouncy castle if supervision is not provided by Bridlington CYP staff.
Compliance: Hirers must comply with all instructions and safety guidelines provided by the approved hire company and Bridlington CYP.
Cancellations: Cancellations must be made in accordance with the hire company’s policy. Any fees for Bridlington CYP supervision services are non-refundable if cancellation occurs less than 48 hours before the event.
