Full On Experience Disclosure of Risk

Images of delegates enjoying the Full On Experience in Wales last summer!

This will be the third year our delegates will have the opportunity to participate in the Full On Experience. Each time, it has been one of the highlights of the trip for all involved!

If you can't read it above, here is a reconstructed version:

During the Full On 'self awareness and personal development day', participants will have the opportunity to personally challenge themselves by participating in adventure and educational based activities.

In Assisi, Italy the main activity is rapelling down the side of a restored tower.

Participating in these activivites can be dangerous, risky and result in serious consequences if undertaken by inexpereienced and/or unqualified people. However when underaken by trained professionals using industry approved equipment, the anmount of actual risk is very minimal and manageable, while the "perceived" risk (the risk we think there is) remains high.

One of the great things about 'Adventure Learning' is this perceived risk and the feelings and emotions it evokes can create a very powerful and meaningful learning opportunity, which is why is is included in the Full On Experience.

The staff and management pf Full On have taken all practicable steps to indentfy ana minimise potential dangers. For example some of the things we do include:

• Conducting site specific Risk Assessments for all activities


• Following comprehensive Safety Management Plans


• Using competent and trained instructors


• Conducting pre season training and assessment for all instructors to ensure competence with site specific activities and safety procedures


• Conducting Psychological Risk training


• Regularly reviewing all aspects of our Safety Management Plan


• Inviting external safety auditors on site to assess 'in operation'


• Using only industry checked and approved safety equipment

All participants must follow opur instructions and use the provided safety equipment. We reserve the right to withdraw any person who in our opinion is likely to endanger themselves or others. e also reserve the right to cancel activities on the 'Full On Experience' if we become concerned for any reason for your safety or that of any other person.

Whilst we cannot guarantee the absolute safety of participants, we can guarantee that:

• We will have done all we can to be prepared for any possible accident or emergency


• We have in place and follow best practice operational and safety systems and procedures


• We will use only trained, assessed and competent outdoor instructors and guides

Yours faithfully
