Safety, Risk and Adventure in Outdoor Activities

Más información sobre el libro

The book challenges the common belief that bureaucracy is responsible for the decline in school trips, arguing instead that competent individuals are the key to ensuring safety during these visits. It presents a counter-narrative to the myth of declining school visits, emphasizing the importance of skilled educators over administrative hurdles in facilitating enriching outdoor experiences for students. Ian Park, an authority in outdoor education, lends credibility to this perspective, advocating for a focus on competence rather than paperwork.
