Outdoor Activities, Negligence and the Law (Paperback)

Recent years have witnessed several tragedies during school and
youth expeditions. This in turn has led to legislation and the
tight regulation of Outdoor Activity Centres, with successive
governments issuing guidelines for teachers and others supervising
such activities. Inevitably there will always be risk in relation
to adventurous pursuits in the outdoors, but the law in this area
seeks a balance between the educational benefits gained and the
need to safeguard against potential hazards. Mythologies have
arisen, including the suggestion that a 'blame culture' is so
overwhelming that no youth worker or teacher can sensibly engage
anymore in such activities. This succinct guide to the legal
position refers to a wide range of outdoor activities and recent
legal cases. It demolishes some of the myths, pointing out common
pitfalls noted in the research and in the litigation, together with
an outline of robust safety features to combat potential hazards.
