Introduction
Version 5 – November 2024, replacing March 2018,
A resource for Managers of the Activity Permit Scheme (MAPS) supporting the management of the Adventurous Activity Permit Scheme within their County.
The role of MAPS is to manage and support the Adventurous Activity Permit Scheme within their County/Area/Region (Scotland) – from now on referred to as County. This is important not only to make sure a fully functioning permit scheme supports volunteers locally, but also to make sure we have a robust and well managed scheme in all areas, that can be moderated and documented for any external parties that need to be able to see what it is we do.
MAPS don't necessarily have to carry out all the tasks detailed here themselves but need to make sure that they are all carried out within their County.
The role of MAPS can be divided into four areas:
- Supporting Activity Assessors
- Supporting those applying for permits and facilitating opportunities for them
- Supporting Lead volunteers with their role within the activity permit scheme
- Carrying out the annual County moderation of the activity permit scheme
