Planning something exciting? Brilliant — we love to see great activities happening across the District.
To help keep all of our young people and volunteers safe, and to make sure everything runs smoothly, we operate a District activities approval process in line with POR 9.1.2.1. Our policy in line with this rule means that we require approval from the District Lead Volunteer for:
- any activity taking place outside of your usual, single designated place of meeting, and
- any activity that is classed as an adventurous activity
Before submitting your request, please make sure your activity has been properly planned, including a suitable and sufficient risk assessment, and that any required permits are in place.
If you need help with risk assessments — whether you’re starting from scratch or just want a second look — you can find guidance here.
If you’re unsure about anything, don’t worry — speak to your Group Lead Volunteer or a member of the District team and we’ll be happy to help.
