Attention is paid to the effect of the environment and the time delay that may occur before help arrives.
Participants should expect to spend time in the outdoors and be dressed appropriately for inclement weather.

emergency services to a remote location. This is reflected and reinforced
in all practical scenarios.

course for participants, supervisors and trainers of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, education establishments may be able to access significant funding for
