Safeguarding

Maintain clear boundaries and ratios between participants and supervisors. Create a safe environment by encouraging open communication and reporting any concerns.
Equipment malfunction (barbecue grill)
— Inspect the grill and equipment before use to ensure it is in good working condition. Keep maintenance tools on hand for any necessary adjustments. Have a backup plan in case of grill failure.
Cross-contamination from food handling
— Separate raw and cooked foods during preparation and serving. Use different utensils, cutting boards, and containers for meat and non-meat items. Ensure participants handling food wash hands frequently and wear gloves when necessary.
Exposure to harmful chemicals (e.g., from insect repellent or sunscreen)
— Use eco-friendly, non-toxic insect repellents and sunscreens when possible. Ensure participants apply them properly and wash hands afterward. Educate participants about the safe use of these products and monitor for any allergic reactions.
Ingestion of harmful plants or berries
— Conduct a site inspection and identify any poisonous plants or berries. Educate participants on which plants to avoid and supervise younger participants closely.
