As agreed at 2024’s AGM, SWOAPG has introduced a monitoring form so that we can gain information about significant ‘incidents’ that may be occurring with our members – particularly in the Waterfall Country gorges but also in other areas we use. The types of ‘incidents’ we’d like to monitor include:
- serious accidents to member(s) of your own groups (NB this is for monitoring purposes only, you must of course also report these through the usual processes);
- interactions with members of the public (e.g. advice or assistance given to them, confrontations, observations); and
- environmental harm (e.g. damage that you find, damage that you see being caused).
We’re encouraging all our Members to please use this form (it will open in a new tab – and is also available from the ‘Interact’ tab on our website) to either log individual incidents as they occur, or provide a summary of incidents you’ve been involved in over a period (e.g. an annual review). We’ll keep the design of the form under review and will amend it based on data received.
Thanks!
