WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING PUTTING MY CHILD'S LIFE AT RISK?
This workshop will draw upon insights two from two perspectives:
From a review of research on the benefits of outdoor activities, it was clear that those programs that had clear objectives and worked torwards them, had better outcomes for participants
and
Secondly a question: on what basis are you choosing the activities, program design and locations to achieve your objectives?
Could you achieve the same objectives with less risk to people, place and equipment?
