Hi all,

At the recent GSLs meeting one thing which was brought up was that it would be helpful to have some guidelines outlining when activity notifications ARE and ARE NOT required.

These details are below. I have issued this in a memo to all GSLs and ADCs today which they will send round in due course.

This should clearly define when an activity notification form is required to be completed and is effective immediately.

I think the guidleines are clear, but if in doubt about a specific scenario or activity, submitting the online activity notification form is the safest option - as this ensures you have covered yourself for the activity, followed all possible procedures and also that your insurance will be valid.

I hope this helps clarify the situation.
