It is good practice to prepare participants so that they understand the aims and nature of the visit. Risk Education is an important aspect of young people’s development and participants should take part in planning, implementing and evaluating their own contribution to visits where possible.
Consideration should be given to ensuring that participants understand:
- The nature and demands of the visit
- The supervision arrangements, including which adult is responsible for them
- The standards of behaviour expected at all times and not just during activities
- What to do in the event of an accident/incident
- Their role in ensuring the safety of all participants
- The Code of Conduct (if there is one)
