Scottish Adventure Activities Forum
Primary Role:
i) To act as a forum in Scotland for the exchange of views and experience for all of the stakeholders (including official and local authority, companies, charities and other training bodies, staff, National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and voluntary bodies) in the outdoor sector.
ii) To provide advice to the Scottish Government, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and other official bodies, on issues in the adventure activities field as appropriate.
iii) To consider the implications of legislation as it affects the sector or particular activities and act as a forum for consultation on draft legislation from both the UK and the EU. This extends to the Licensing Regulations on which the Forum provides an opportunity for consultation with the Licensing Authority.
iv) To liaise with and provide Scottish representation on the UK Adventure Activities Industry Advisory Committee (AAIAC), and assist in the implementation of any AAIAC conclusions in Scotland as relevant.
