ROAM Cumbria – Useful Links to Other
Website Information
In this section, outdoor activity businesses
will find a number of useful links to standard setting national
bodies, as well
as some more general links to Health & Safety advice
and requirements. It is a section for members of the Trade,
and
is not aimed at the general public.
Cumbria Tourism
(through their ‘Lake
District Outdoors’ section)
does not claim this list to be complete in any way, and welcomes
comment and suggestions of other useful sites. Send details
to roam@psoutdoors.co.uk.
This is a ‘live’ page
and will be updated regularly. We hope that eventually it
may be
the ‘first choice’ links page for all outdoor
adventure businesses in Cumbria.
Please note that this is not a place
for links to commercial businesses (except where they are
the sole organisers/sponsors
of nationally accepted schemes of training and assessment,
or where they provide independent information).
The Adventure Activities
Licensing Authority
There is a large amount of useful information
on the Licensing Authority’s website at www.aala.org.
A selection of some of the more relevant documents is included
below, but the site
has a good menu structure to enable interested parties
to access a whole range of information.
