Risk Management
Outdoor Learning has the capacity to influence students in an extremely positive manner. A degree of risk is a feature of almost all outdoor activities and the way in which this risk is controlled and managed is central to the provision of these activities at Macmillan Academy.
Risk Management Goal
Macmillan Academy aims to provide Outdoor Learning of lasting impact at a level of exposure to risk that is at a similar level to that experienced during classroom activities. As in any endeavour, and despite our constant efforts to minimise them, minor injuries can be expected to occur.
Safety Culture
We judge ourselves on what we do rather than merely on what we say. The Director of Outdoor Learning, the Academy Senior Leadership Team and all others working within Outdoor Learning are committed to the Risk Management Goal and to ensuring that all Outdoor Learning takes place in a climate where the proper balancing of risk and the opportunities for learning is in prominent view.
