Health & Safety, and Child Protection Issues

  1. Make sure you always wear protective headgear & suitable footwear whenever you are involved in either riding, leading or walking beside a horse in the schooling area. Ask a Committee member if you are unsure - If in doubt, keep out!
  2. Riders & Helpers should always bear in mind the health risks involved in any work/contact with horses, and in line with the latest National RDA advice, we strongly urge immunisation against Hepatitis B, Tetanus & Polio.
  3. The current Health & Safety, and Fire Regulations pertaining to your Rides at Wrea Green & the RDA, together with the Group's Accident Book, are held by the Organiser of your Committee, and are available for viewing every Tuesday evening.
  4. Any person having any concerns regarding health, safety or child protection should contact Diane (the RDA Instructor) at the yard, or our Group Chairperson, Beryl Clarkson. All such discussions will be treated as confidential.
  5. Remember! - Riding is an "at risk" activity. The Committee therefore advise that all our Riders take out their own insurance cover for RDA activities.
