Typical hazards & measures
Tidal surges
— Check tide times and avoid areas prone to sudden surges. Brief participants on identifying signs of surges and emergency evacuation routes. Keep to safe zones during high tide periods.
Safeguarding
— Ensure all adults working with youth have completed safeguarding or child protection training appropriate to their role. Any one-to-one interaction must be risk assessed, authorised, and take place in an open or observable setting, with prior notification to relevant leaders or guardians. Keep clear records of one-to-one meetings and ensure all safeguarding concerns are reported immediately following organisational procedures.
Hyperthermia
— Monitor weather conditions and adjust the pace of activities in hot weather. Encourage participants to wear sun-protective clothing and hydrate frequently. Have shaded rest stops if needed.
Drowning
— Equip all participants with well-fitted buoyancy aids and ensure close supervision, particularly of weaker swimmers. Regularly check water conditions and avoid high-swell areas.
Dehydration
— Instructors should monitor participants for signs of dehydration and enforce regular water breaks. Participants should be encouraged to bring sufficient water for the duration of the activity.
