1. You can not know if it's being done properly unless you first know what is being done.

2. List each school, centre, unit, club, college, base from which activities are offered, and don't forget your peripatetic providers.

3. Next to each, indicate which activities they provide e.g. kayaking, hillwalking, sailing, etc.

4. Indicate the circumstances of the provision. For example, part of the curriculum of a school or club, the main purpose and function of a centre, Duke of Edinburgh's Award Unit provision, etc.

5. Show who has immediate responsibility and what their role is - e.g. teacher in charge, head teacher, head of centre, unit leader, etc.

6. Do the activities come within the scope of the Adventure Activities Licensing Regulations. e.g. is it exempt because it is school provision only, OR it requires licensing because the school offers the activities to other pupils besides their own and they charge for this.

The question and answer sheet should help in determining whether exemptions may apply or not.
