The aim of adventure activities licensing is to provide assurances to the public about the safety of those activity providers who have  been granted a licence.  In this way it  is expected that young people will be able to continue to enjoy exciting and  stimulating activities outdoors without being exposed to avoidable risks of  death or disabling injury.A licence indicates that the provider has been inspected by  the Adventure Activities Licensing Service on behalf of the Adventure  Activities Licensing Authority, with particular attention being paid to their  safety management systems with young people, and has been able to demonstrate  compliance with nationally accepted standards of good practice in the delivery  of adventure activities to young people, with due regard to the benefits and  risks of the activity.
