Supervision

Children should always be under parental/guardian supervision. Adults and families with children who are always under full parental/guardian supervision may require operational supervision from the Client.

This level of supervision provides assistance to someone using the Rope Bridge when sought but may not provide pre-emptive assistance.

This means that each group will not be accompanied by the Client during their time with the Rope Bridge. Instead, the Client will roam around the vicinity of the Rope Bridge and can be summoned, if required, to communicate verbally with and to provide adequate assistance to participants.

The immediate safety, security and behaviour of participants is therefore largely the responsibility of the participants and/or their accompanying parents, leaders or teachers.

Occasionally, groups either as a visiting group or an educational group are under a level of supervision whereby the Client can clearly see the participants and intervene verbally. Such verbal intervention may be targeted at deliberate and dangerous misuse of the Rope Bridge, such as reckless behaviour, or inadvertent misuse such as deliberately bouncing or jumping. The Client will also be positioned and skilled to assist those struggling with getting around the Rope Bridge because of nervousness or limited physical ability. They will also be able to assist individuals down from the course should the need arise.
