The possibility of harm, for example physical injury incurred in the 'outdoor environment' is outweighed by the benefit of exercise, fresh air and learning 'outside the classroom' by the policies and procedures in place to address such risks e.g. child protection policies, health and safety policies, forest programme risk assessments, group safety at water margins policy and the fact that staff are fully qualified Teachers. The charities beneficiaries are children, young people, parents and wider community in Northern Ireland and border counties i.e. Monaghan & Donegal. Specific projects may address particular council areas such as the Mid Ulster district and those aforementioned in the application. No private benefit is obtained by the Trustees as a result of the purposes.
