Risk Management   

We recognise that, undertaking adventurous activities in the woods, hills and open fields, the offered service needs to have embedded a good practice of predicting, understanding and managing potential risks.

​

Current Rambling Salamander’s adventures are;

​

  • low-land walking,

  • map reading, 

  • GPS devices navigating,

  • treasure hunting 

  • geocaching 

We have location-specific risk assessments in place and these are updated regularly and reviewed seasonally and are held in Rambling Salamander’s Office available for inspection at any time. 

 

 

Daily risks assessments are carried out before every walking session at the meetings to take into account the group wellbeing and abilities, forecasted weather and the planned activity.

​

 

Parents and carers are welcome to attend and to contribute to these meetings

In addition to prevent and manage some of the potential risks, the walking activities are set for four weeks time cycle . This time is important for the rambling salamander staff to get to understand clients' needs and their behaviour patterns before being offered participation in other activities such us national walks or walking holidays.
