Risk Management

The benefits of outdoor learning and play far outweigh the risks. As an organisation, Learning through Landscapes is committed to children being able to experience challenging play and learning activities in the day-to-day environment of their school or nursery grounds. We believe all schools and early years settings should seek to take a balanced and proportionate approach to risk management.

Our Risk Management System

Above are the Risk Benefit Assessments that we use. They are intended to cover our activities – including play and outdoor learning in schools and early years settings. Our Risk Benefit Assessments are designed to ‘stack’ – any given activity may require a Generic Location, a Generic Activity and possibly a Specific Activity. Specific Activities are ones that pose increased risk potential and require an increased level of control measures, group engagement and staff skills. The implementation of these is supported by our well qualified and experienced staff, our monitoring by LtL Management and an all staff feedback system. This leads to continual improvement and a high level of engagement by all staff, something we value deeply alongside the paperwork side of risk management.
