For Excellence, the student needs to analyse comprehensively the application of risk management strategies to a challenging outdoor activity.

This involves evaluating how the applied risk management strategies are relevant to the identified risk(s).

The student has explained the risk management strategies that are applied for dehydration and hypothermia (1).

The student has explained how the risk management strategy of hypothermia and dehydration is relevant to the identified risk and why the risk management strategy is relevant (2).

The student has evaluated the risk management strategy for dehydration by considering if it worked well, and also a suggestion to this strategy for the future (3).

The student has briefly explained a modification of the risk management strategies applied for hypothermia (4).

For a more secure Excellence, the student would need to provide a more detailed evaluation of the risk management strategy for hypothermia. For example, relating to the strategies (moving to keep warm and clothing worn) that are applied. 

For Merit, the student needs to analyse in-depth the application of risk management strategies to a challenging outdoor activity.

This involves explaining how and why the applied risk management strategies are relevant to the identified risk(s).

The student has explained how and why the risk management strategies for mechanical failure and injuries due to inexperience are applied (1).

The student has explained how and why the appropriate strategies are relevant to the risk(s) identified for mechanical failure and inexperience (2).

The student has provided an evaluation of the risk management strategy for inexperience (3).

To reach Excellence the student would need to provide a more detailed evaluation for mechanical failure. For example, who should have looked over the bike and why?

For Merit, the student needs to analyse in-depth the application of risk management strategies to a challenging outdoor activity.

This involves explaining how and why the applied risk management strategies are relevant to the identified risk(s).

The student has explained how and why the risk management strategies are applied for the people risk of not following or listening to instructions and equipment failure (1).

The student has explained how the risk management strategy of listening to instruction is relevant to the risk(s) (2).

For a more secure Merit, the student would need to explain in more detail how the other risk management strategies are relevant to the identified risk(s). For example, how the strategy for equipment risk, is relevant to the risk of falling and injury.

For Achieved, the student needs to analyse the application of risk management strategies to a challenging outdoor activity.

This involves explaining how and why the applied risk management strategies are applied.

The student has explained the risk management strategy of supervision, why the strategy is applied, (1) and how the strategy was applied (2).

The risk management strategy for dehydration has also been explained, how it is applied, (3) and why it is applied (4).

The student has also explained how the risk management strategy is relevant to the identified risk (5).

To reach Merit, the student would need to explain how the risk management strategies of supervision and being pressured by others are relevant to the identified risks of physical safety and injury.

For Achieved, the student needs to analyse the application of risk management strategies to a challenging outdoor activity.

This involves explaining how and why the applied risk management strategies are applied.

The student has explained how and why the risk management strategy of listening to instructions and paying attention is applied (1).

The student has explained why the strategy of checking equipment is applied (2) and briefly explained how equipment is checked (3).

For a more secure Achieved, the student would need to explain in more detail how the risk management strategy (checking equipment) is applied.

For Achieved, the student needs to analyse the application of risk management strategies to a challenging outdoor activity.

This involves explaining how and why the applied risk management strategies are applied.

The student has briefly explained how and why the risk management strategy of looking out for possible hazards is applied (1).

The student has explained why a strategy (equipment failure) may be useful (2).

To reach Achieved the student would need to:

• identify clearly  the risk management strategies for equipment failure
• explain in more detail how and why the strategies are applied.
