Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C. Leaders must develop

S: Hello, Mr Thompson Is this the right time for our meeting"?
T: Yes, it is. Thanks for coming in at such a late hour, Jessie. I know you’ve had a busy day studying and will be keen to get home... and thanks for volunteering to run this project. It’s going to help you develop and practise skills needed by teachers today. Field trips are getting more and more a part of school life, so as a student of education it’ll be wonderful training for you. It’s really a great opportunity.
S: We did loads of field trips at school, so I’ve got a good idea of what sort of things we could
do.
T: Hmm, I expect so, but we’re here to go through the basics of planning one, and the trip leader carries a load of responsibility. Right now, you’re focusing on activities, but your main job is to consider the dangers and come up with ways of countering or avoiding them. There are lots of government regulations you won’t have been aware of on your school trips, but they are just a guideline for your own planning.... some of those school trips you went on would have been pretty adventurous, right?
S: Yeah.
T: OK, and your plan needs to be tailored to the kind of trip you’re doing. On a well-planned and successfully led adventure trip, we don’t often hear of problems... even though sometimes there’s bad weather, for example, that a school party has managed to combat. That’s because the leader created a well thought out hazard management plan.
S: Oh, I thought I’d just be taking my mates out on a trek — now it’s all paperwork!
T: Yes, well, that’s why I called you in. We’ll work on this together over the next few days — I just wanted to give you a heads-up on what you’ll need to think about. There are some aspects that every trip needs to consider. What do you think they might be?
S: Uh... well... heavy rain, or high winds, I guess, and any dangers in the terrain...
T: Yes, we call those the significant factors... and another important one is the make-up of your group. But, you don’t need to go overboard. There are some kinds of hazard you won’t need to think about at all: things like hurricanes, earthquakes, radioactivity, or major diseases such as cancer. The official name for those is unlikely events because they almost certainly won’t happen.
