Children should be taught how to be risk-savvy says IOSH

Schools should be teaching children how to be risk-savvy rather than cancelling trips and adventure activities, according to the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). The Institution backs Government plans to simplify the process for schools organising trips but it also wants balanced risk education to be part of the curriculum for pupils. IOSH made the comments in its response to a wide-ranging UK Government review of health and safety.
