How does the course work?
This course is led by Matt Robinson (B.Ed, IOSH), who has a background of over 20 years in schools and outdoor centres. Matt has developed a number of risk management systems, most noticeably LTL’s own.
The course compliments the existing Visit Leader and Off Site Excursion Manager courses, and updates all on latest guidance and practice following the Lord Young Report of 2012 and policy statements from across government departments, UK wide.
This course focusses on outdoor play and learning, but will impact all your school risk assessment and approach to risk management.

- Reduce paperwork for ‘routine and expected’ activities
- Work through practical ‘Risk Benefit Assessments’, in line with good practice from the Health & Safety Executive and Play Safety Forum
