View source for Organise a field trip

== Objectives ==
Field trips aim to let people to 'see for themselves' the place where a development is proposed to be placed, or to have a demonstration of a technique.

== Method ==
* Publicise the field trip 
* Select times that suit the largest number of participants (e.g. select from after hours for full-time workers, daytime for retirees or parents with small children). 
* Field trips can run from several hours to full days to allow the greatest number of participants to attend (depending on the time participants can spare; distance to be traveled; availability of expertise and/or case studies). 
* Advertise the agenda and times of key presentations in appropriate place, e.g. local media; posters at local stores and libraries. This will allow participants to attend for shorter periods if necessary, and will allow them to choose sessions of interest. 
* Ensure adequate staff on site to provide assistance (e.g. give directions; be available for first-aid; organise food and drink (catering, set-up and clean away), etcetera. 
* Create and display signs that publicise the location of field trip through attachment of maps/directions with a pre-posted agenda. 
* Ensure all publicity (signs, media releases, brochures) provide directions from major routes near the site. 
* Allow time for participants to approach experts for one-to- one discussions. 
* Provide printed public information materials during the field trip for interested participants. 
* Appoint staff to act as note takers during the discussions. 
* Provide feedback forms/survey/response sheets to facilitate public input. 
* Pay attention to duty of care/safety issues. If site is difficult to access or contains elements of risk, make necessary preparations to avoid accidents with an emphasis on participants with disabilities. 
* Organise catering if appropriate 
* Ensure toilets are available.
