    Report summary

    Robin van Caliskan, aged five, drowned in the main pool at Atlantic Reach holiday park on 31 July 2023 after being briefly unsupervised; resuscitation was unsuccessful. The principal concern was that the pool operated without lifeguards, despite being busy and close to maximum capacity, and an enforcement officer considered the company’s approach borderline and said more should be done.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to provide lifeguarding services in the pool except when large inflatables were permitted

    Wider context from the report

    “1) A risk assessment conducted by the company that took account of existing Health & Safety Guidance concluded that it was not reasonably practicable to use lifeguards except on the relatively few occasions when large inflatables were permitted in the pool. 2) While there was felt to be compliance with existing minimum legal standards, a Health & Safety enforcement officer with Cornwall Council felt this was borderline. She observed that similar sized companies elsewhere did provide a lifeguarding service. She felt lessons had not been learned and said that the company should be doing more. ”
