Hi all, I would be very grateful for any advice you may have ahead of an interview that I am attending next week. I have been ask to do the following: ***Please prepare a short presentation on a health and safety subject of your choice relevant to Outdoor Education staff, in support of their manager/supervisor**** I'm probably overthinking it, but how would you: 1. Interpret what they are asking for 2. Interpret what is meant by Outdoor education staff Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It might be best to carry out some research on the company using their website, outdoor education could cover wide scope of activities, as mentioned farming it could also be climbing, sailing the list goes on. What age groups are involved, is it primary school children or adult education? Once you have a better idea of the age range and possible activities involved, this will give you a better idea on how tackle it. Gav

As other have said - you need more information as regards the type of outdoor activities. Instead of considering the practical risk assessments, why not concentrate more on the teachers own qualifications and outdoor experience. It seems to me that many outdoor emergencies are related to instructor competence and experience, ability to perceive risk, planning ahead, making allowance for individual capabilities.

also ensure that U copyright anything U provide should U hand it out etc. as its surprising [not really!] just how much use is made of good stuff at a later date which was given/presented by candidates talk to your LA's H&S people as they should have some good stuff re this area best of luck
