For Excellence, the student needs to critically analyse issues in safety management for outdoor activity to devise safety management strategies.

This involves:

• comprehensively examining the safety management issues for a selected outdoor activity
• evaluating the issues in terms of their relative importance
• questioning and challenging assumptions and practices relating to safety management in outdoor activities.

The student has comprehensively examined the safety management issues (school policy) for a selected outdoor activity (skiing) (1).

The student has evaluated the issues (school policy and information about people on the trip) in terms of their relative importance (2).

The student has started to question and challenge assumptions and practices related to safety management in outdoor activities (philosophy of outdoor education) (3).

For a more secure Excellence, the student would need to question and challenge in more detail assumptions and practices relating to safety management in the outdoors.

For Merit, the student needs to analyse, in depth, issues in safety management for outdoor activity to devise safety management strategies.

This involves examining the wider implications and/or impacts of:

• the factors influencing the safety management issues
• the inter-relationship between factors influencing the safety management issues.

The student has examined the wider implications and impacts of the factors influencing the safety management issues (not following the use of procedure in RAMS forms) (1) for skiing. The student has examined the inter-relationship between factors that influenced the safety management issue (skier ability) (2).

The student has comprehensively examined safety management issues (the knowledge and experience of students and instructors) for the selected outdoor activity (skiing) (3).

The student has attempted to evaluate the issues in terms of their relative importance (4).

To reach Excellence, the student would need to:

• evaluate more issues in terms of their relative importance

• question and challenge assumptions and practices relating to outdoor education.

For Merit, the student needs to analyse, in depth, issues in safety management for outdoor activity to devise safety management strategies.

This involves examining the wider implications and/or impacts of:

• the factors influencing the safety management issues
• the inter-relationship between factors influencing the safety management issues.

The student has examined the wider implications and impact of the factors influencing the issues (school policy and cell-phones) (1). The student has briefly examined the inter-relationship between the factors (related to people) influencing the safety management issues (equipment) (2).

For a more secure Merit, the student would need to examine in more depth the impact of the inter-relationship between factors influencing the safety management issues (people).

For Achieved, the student needs to analyse issues in safety management for outdoor activity to devise safety management strategies.

This involves:

• examining the safety management issues for a selected outdoor activity
• considering factors that influence the issues
• devising safety management strategies to address the safety management issues.

The student has examined the safety management issues for the selected outdoor activity (skiing) and considered the factors that influence the issue (equipment: the type of clothing that should be worn) (1).

The student has devised risk management strategies to address the safety management issues (2).

The student has briefly examined the impacts of the factors (food and people’s knowledge) influencing the safety management issue (people) (3).

To reach Merit, the student would need to examine the wider implications and impacts of:

• the factors in more detail influencing the issues

• the inter-relationship between factors influencing the safety management issue).

For Achieved, the student needs to analyse issues in safety management for outdoor activity to devise safety management strategies.

This involves:

• examining the safety management issues for a selected outdoor activity
• considering factors that influence the issues
• devising safety management strategies to address the safety management issues.

The student has examined the safety management issues (people) for the selected outdoor activity (skiing) and considered factors (food) that influence the issues (1).

The student has devised safety management strategies to address the safety management issues (2).

For a more secure Achieved, the student would need to examine in more detail the other safety management issues (equipment) for a selected outdoor activity considering factors (clothing, weather) that influence the issues.

For Achieved, the student needs to analyse issues in safety management for outdoor activity to devise safety management strategies.

This involves:

• examining the safety management issues for a selected outdoor activity
• considering factors that influence the issues
• devising safety management strategies to address the safety management issues

The student has briefly examined the safety management issues (environment) for a selected outdoor activity (skiing), considering some factors that influence the issue (1).

The student has devised safety management strategies to address the safety management issues (2).

To reach Achieved, the student would need to examine in more detail the safety management issues for a selected outdoor activity considering more factors that influence the issues.
