Risk is the potential of loss or harm and it’s a huge issue when taking kids away on an excursion! But when managed effectively, it means you can provide kids with some fantastic learning opportunities out in the real world! One of the most important things to remember in this litigious world, is that we should never stop taking kids out on excursions! We should just make sure we do a great job in preparation and execution.
 
Unfortunately when it comes to the issue of risk, most people switch off, or think that it’s too hard and that it’s someone else’s problem. However, if you’re taking kids out of school on an activity, then it’s not someone else’s problem… it’s your responsibility! The fact is that most of it comes down to common sense. I’ll be posting more on risk and managing that risk through out the year, but here’s a few tips on where to get started!
 
1. When planning an excursion – go and actually do the activity yourself ahead of time.
2. When you do the activity look for issues or concerned based around what could cause an injury or loss of any kind.
3. Take photos of the locations and make note of any issues, or concerns you have seen.
4. Come up with a solution for removing, mitigating and managing each possible risk.
 
It’s that easy! And it doesn’t matter if it’s a local art gallery, or you’re trekking the entire overland track! Get out there and do it! Have some fun aswell! Oh and it’s a work trip so get them to pay for it!
 
So as a good starting point for managing risk on an excursion, never be in the situation where you don’t know what’s around the next corner. Go there! Do it! Know what to expect! Nothing makes for a better risk assessment than seeing things first hand!
