Product Description
Review
'"Bureaucracy is the reason for the decline in school trips". A statement often quoted. But it is a myth that there is a decline in school visits... It's competent people, not paperwork, that make visits safer' - Ian Park, ex-Chairman, Outdoor Education Advisers' Panel
'Bob Barton’s balanced and well though out book will help anyone involved with the planning and management of outdoor activities for young people. Bob explores the issues that need to be considered when developing and implementing outdoor policies and procedures, in an interesting and though provoking style, drawing on his wealth of outdoor experience’ - Peter Westgarth, Chief Executive, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
'This book fills a gap which sorely needed filling. The safety versus adventure debate is discussed in a thoroughly refreshing way and should inspire a new generation of teachers and youth workers to take their charges into the great outdoors. The book should be required reading for every Health and Safety Officer throughout the land to improve their understanding of what Adventure Educators are trying to achieve' - Doug Jones, County Officer, Outdoor Education and Adventure Activities, Bedfordshire County Council
'A distillation of years of experience in adventure activities and an essential guide to getting the proper balance between adventure and safety' - Nick Barrett, Chief Executive of the Outward Bound Trust
Peter Westgarth, Chief Executive, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award

Format:Paperback
An excellent book writen from the point of view of someone actively involved in the industry. this book delivers information that is crucial to those working or thinking of working in the outdoor activity industry. This is now required reading for the BSc course I am involved in running. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Format:Paperback
I just wanted to say that it is refreshing to read down to earth, covering all the bases, balanced but no messing book on this area of safety in the outdoors. Instructors, managers, parents and providers will find the advice sound, helpful and practical. Bob draws on his extensive experience as a Mountain Guide, Outdoor Centre Manager and Advisor in Outdoor Education. Brilliant and thanks. PS.I work as a Mountain Instructor and in Health and Safety;
