Application Form
This application form can be used to apply for a permit for any activity, although there is no requirement to use it if you have other means of making contact with an assessor or booking onto an assessment course. It can be filled in online to be sent as an email attachment to speed up the process if required, or printed off and sent as a hard copy. Details of the different types of permit it is possible to apply for can be found in the factsheet FS120100 Adventurous Activity Permit Scheme.
When making an application it is always useful to include all relevant logged experience. To help with this you can use the blank log books below, or any other versions you may have. Again it is possible to fill these in online and send as email attachments, or print off as hard copies. Attached please find log books that relate to the most common applications for permits

Manager of the Activity Permit Scheme (MAPS)
The manager of the activity permit scheme (MAPS) in each county (or area or region (Scotland)) is a way of identifying who is responsible for the management of the activity permit scheme locally. This will most often fall under the remit of the Assistant County Commissioner (ACC) Activities, who in Co. Antrim is Mark Dick – c.dick996@btinternet.com The DC will organise this with him when it becomes pertinent.”
