RISK ASSESSMENT
*
We know that walk leaders use their best judgement to offer fun yet safe routes, but we are required to record this for insurance purposes. Please consider if each point is relevant to your route and tick all that apply.
Avoid routes along busy roads and/or check for suitable crossing places on the recce.
Check for muddy/slippery sections on the recce and adapt the route if necessary.
Cross fields with livestock calmly and quietly, keeping the group together. Be prepared to divert around livestock if necessary.
Follow the Countryside Code (England & Wales) and Access Code (Scotland).
Leave gates and property as you find them.
Check paths are suitable for a group to use safely and make changes if necessary.
Follow any local warnings or signs, and advise walkers to keep away from the edge.
