Safety Management: Part 1

This article (Part 1 of 2) explores ideas on the future of safety management in the outdoors.
These themes were discussed at the IOL Outdoor Learning Strategic Thinking Day, and is the fundamental drive behind the Collective Knowledge Project run jointly between IOL, AAIAC & UHI NWH. The following article is the first in a two-part series which will explore my personal reflections from co-hosting this workshop and the discussions which occurred before, during and after. In this I invite you to think critically about these views, be open-minded about how we act on them and contribute your own perspectives on how we can best respond to future issues in the sector.
This first part focuses on the 'social licence' towards risk and safety.
