David Gregory

Australia & SE Asia

David knows how important it is for you to provide great opportunities for your students so they develop and grow in this rapidly changing world. With the increased demands on teachers to run programs on top of running classes and be able to have the time to understands and manage risk, he knows how frustrating risk management can be for teachers.

David has developed and run residential outdoor programs for some of the largest private schools in Australia and has trained staff, build effective risk management systems and consulted on operational and risk management practices. David’s work has been strongly influenced by the need to provide great educational opportunities for students to grow personally and academically through experiential education as well as ensure risks are minimised and well managed.

"It's not about the paperwork, it's about helping you really understand how to effectively identify and manage risk. When we understand risk and how to manage it well, everything else just falls into place."
