Remarks


The structure and contents of the resource SHEET 6: PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK may be adjusted or replaced as needed to better align with the specific requirements of the promoter, considering cultural, business, legal, and environmental factors.

Such modifications should comply with current regulations and maintain the integrity of the SURFEDAUT Manual of Best Practices in Surf Therapy for ASD G1 participants.

This manual, validated by the external occupational risk prevention company QUIRON PREVENCION, serves as a benchmark to ensure the prevention of occupational risks and the safety of the ISTC, addressing general and psychosocial risk factors effectively.
