Appendix 2 Management and behaviour
Outline the behaviour expected from your group when outside the school at the outset. Highlight the potential hazards that have been identified through the risk assessment and reinforce these when they arise. Highlight emergency procedures to your group and identify a meeting point if anyone gets separated. If a group member does not know how to get back to the meeting point they should stay still, attract attention to themselves and wait until they are found. Everyone should be informed how to stay warm if they become isolated from the group.
Working with other leaders
Make sure that all leaders understand the planned activities and experiences and outcomes. Brief all leaders on their roles and responsibilities, together with emergency procedures, hazards and any children or young person with additional support needs and behavioural and/or medical conditions.
Scottish Outdoor Access Code
Everyone has access rights established by the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. You can exercise these rights, provided you do so responsibly, over most land and inland water in Scotland. You can exercise these rights for recreational and educational purposes. The Land Reform Act also requires land managers to recognise access rights and to manage their land and water responsibly in relation to these rights. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code provides more detailed guidance on the responsibilities of those exercising access rights and of those managing land and water. There is a link to the code in appendix 4.
It is important that children understand the basics of the access code as well. The code is based on three key principles: • Respect the interests of other people. • Care for your environment. • Take personal responsibility for your own actions.
Responsible access is particularly important within the country park as much of it remains as working farmland in private ownership, so everyone visiting it has an important duty to act responsibly.
