ABRS Response to CPA

The Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS) welcomes the opportunity to support CCPR’s response to the Audit Commission proposals. The ABRS wish to stress (again) the value of voluntary service across the board in culture, sport, play and general recreation.

In general terms, volunteers are currently undervalued at county and district level, but generally much appreciated at town and parish level.

The ABRS support the CCPR and our commitment to helping the TAES framework. There are some limitations in the Children’s Act 2004, Adventure Activities Act 1996 and aspects of child Protection which worry volunteers, particularly adult leaders. These worries have placed limitations on many recreational activities thereby reducing choice and chance.

Volunteers’ activity around equines and other animals also have health and safety limitations which are causing a reduction in knowledge both theoretical and practical.

The ABRS wholeheartedly support the ideals of delivery and improvement in quality of services.
