Maurward Park
Public Areas Outside Park inc. Garden & Lakeside 11/9/18 Laura Chatton
Explanatory notes: Paths become very muddy during wet weather and increase the risks of slips, trips and falls.
Some walk ways, building entrances and hygiene facilities are not usually faced with such a high footfall of visitors in
one day - high presence of staff and students are made available as a result and the park adopts the radio. Large
areas of water with no barriers – children and vulnerable individuals must be carefully supervised and warnings
given.

Explanatory notes: Birds of prey are natural hunters, have sharp beaks and talons. When trained they show little
interest in public members but if spooked or feeling threatened they may strike out.
Birds are also trained within close proximity of public members during ‘experiences’ when they are encouraged to
land on a gloved hand. Public are always made aware of the hazards and undertake these ‘experiences’ at their own
risk.
