5 This statement provides managers and staff in local authorities and schools with a clear picture of HSE's perspective on these issues. HSE wants to encourage all schools and local authorities to remove wasteful bureaucracy imposed on those organising trips and activities so that focus is on how the real riskst are managed and not on the paperwork. Our primary interest is in real risks arising from serious breaches of the law, and any investigations are targeted at these issues.

Key "Well-managed school trips and outdoor activities are great for message: children. Children won't learn about risk if they're wrapped in cotton wool.'
