YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY AT OUR CORE
For activities with a higher potential risk, a risk against benefit approach balances the benefits of experience against that risk. The law expects leaders and others to manage significant risks as far as is reasonably practicable.
This section supports you in developing and sustaining an enabling attitude towards Outdoor Learning via the use of The City of Edinburgh Approved Adventurous Activity Providers list, Excursion Policy guidance and support, and critical safety information.
APPROVED PROVIDERS
A directory of approved adventurous activity providers (AAAP), exlusively for use by The City of Edinburgh Council(CEC) groups. The AAAP streamlines the excursion approval process and removes the need for each CEC group to send detailed risk assessments for each approved activity.
THE CITY OF EDINBURGH EXCURSIONS
The Sport and Outdoor Learning Unit have created resources to support employees and approved volunteers. The City of Edinburgh Council, communities and families excursions policy provides a framework for safe and effective off site visits.
