So you think you know how to run a weekend away…

When planning a youth residential event what would be the first thing that you make sure you’ve done:
1. Got everyone’s health form?
2. Visited the venue?
3. Found out if anyone wants to go away?
You’re taking a minibus with you to sunny Devon and you think you might need to check out a few things - what would you consider?
1. Get a tachograph fitted, check the insurance and buy a new fire extinguisher
2. Get a minibus permit from the local traffic commissioner, check you have valid insurance, a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit.
3. Chat to the owner and make sure they give you the nod
You have some old kayaks and plan to run a small session on a nearby river for the young people. What should you check?
1. That the kayaks don’t leak, that everyone knows how to swim and that you all have a qualified instructor with you.
2. That the organisation you work for / volunteer with has an AALA licence and that a risk assessment has been carried out for all aspects of the trip
3. That you each have a life jacket and that someone knows which way the river is flowing.
You get together a group of adult friends who are really into youth work and who you have known for years. Do you assume...
1. That they are all experienced enough to get on with leading young people without the need to check them out with any criminal record listings?
2. That everyone has been checked for a criminal record by someone in the past?
3. That just because you have known them for years, they may still have a criminal record and that you get them all checked before they have any contact with the young people?
The budget for a residential event can be done on the back of an envelope at the last minute - so you think - and then you wonder whether it would have been wiser to…
1. Work out on a larger envelope all the income and expenditure and build in a contingency figure. Offer cancellation insurance and set up a deposit system.
2. Used a computer generated spreadsheet with various projections depending on whether you got 20, 30 or 40 people attending.
3. Make sure the envelope is a nice colour and that you have someone who will bail you out of any shortfall
