1. Introduction

1.4 Supporting Materials

The framework is supported by tools, resources and accompanying examples of good practice for the planning and evaluation of different levels of outdoor experience and off-site visits, which are straightforward and user-friendly to apply.

This includes a series of generic consent forms and risk assessments which can be adapted to individual circumstances as appropriate by Visit Leaders, and are easily uploaded into online recording and approval tools where these are being used locally.

The range of activities covered is as follows:

  • Routine and Expected – regular activity as part of normal everyday practice in play and learning (including local off-site visits on foot, by private hire or public transport)
  • One-off Day visits
  • Residential Activities
  • Visits further afield such as international trips and experiences
  • Adventure Activities
