Rules for Young People's Safety at Activity Centres

This bill changes the rules for activity centres where young people do outdoor activities like climbing, canoeing, and hiking. Activity centres are places that run adventure courses and camps for children and teenagers. The bill updates the current safety laws that cover these centres. It sets out new requirements for how centres must operate to keep young people safe during activities. The changes affect both centres that run residential courses (where young people stay overnight) and day centres. Centre operators must follow stricter safety standards and inspection procedures. The government says this will improve protection for young people taking part in outdoor adventure activities. The bill builds on existing laws rather than creating completely new rules.
