NWAS requested the Team’s assistance following a report of an 11 year old girl who had injured her ankle in the grounds of a local outdoor education centre. The Duty Leader contacted the centre and established that centre staff had carried the girl the short distance back to the centre.

The Team was stood down after it was confirmed that the child was safe.
