Every walk is different, so complete a risk assessment for each one you lead to help you plan and make a note of the steps you are taking to keep walkers safe. After a walk, risk assessments should be sent to Jane Hogg email to: \u00a0janehogg44@gmail.com<\/a> or 07572617587,\u00a0 to be stored for three years.<\/p>\n

In terms of practicalities I don’t have the technology to turn what follows into a page that can be filled in and automatically returned, so the best approach is to copy the whole page by swiping it with the mouse, and then paste it (Ctrl C on a PC computer) into Word or a similar program.\u00a0 You can of course also just print the page out and fill it in with a pen in the traditional manner.\u00a0 I hope you find this helpful.<\/p>\n
