A bracket for supporting an individual on mesh fencing, the bracket comprising: a first vertical element defining at least one first fixing member extending in a first direction in a first plane; a second horizontal element extending from the first element, the second element being perpendicular to the first element; a third vertical element extending from the second element and defining a second fixing member which extends from the second element in a second direction in a second plane, the second direction being opposite to the first direction; wherein the first plane is offset from the second plane such that in use the at least one first fixing member lies on a first side of the fencing and the second fixing member lies on a second side of the fencing; and characterised in that the bracket further comprises: a planar support member fixed to and extending outwardly from the second fixing member in a third plane which is perpendicular to the first and second planes (P1,P2), wherein the support member lies on the second side of the fencing and includes an aperture for securing a ring member of a support rope or cable thereto; wherein a vertical channel divides the first vertical element into a pair of first fixing members; and the second horizontal element includes a niche where the first and second elements (406,404) meet, the niche and channel cooperating so as to in use receive a vertical wire element of the mesh fence between the pair of first fixing members. a first vertical element defining at least one first fixing member extending in a first direction in a first plane; a second horizontal element extending from the first element, the second element being perpendicular to the first element; a third vertical element extending from the second element and defining a second fixing member which extends from the second element in a second direction in a second plane, the second direction being opposite to the first direction; wherein the first plane is offset from the second plane such that in use the at least one first fixing member lies on a first side of the fencing and the second fixing member lies on a second side of the fencing; and characterised in that the bracket further comprises: a planar support member fixed to and extending outwardly from the second fixing member in a third plane which is perpendicular to the first and second planes (P1,P2), wherein the support member lies on the second side of the fencing and includes an aperture for securing a ring member of a support rope or cable thereto; wherein a vertical channel divides the first vertical element into a pair of first fixing members; and the second horizontal element includes a niche where the first and second elements (406,404) meet, the niche and channel cooperating so as to in use receive a vertical wire element of the mesh fence between the pair of first fixing members. a planar support member fixed to and extending outwardly from the second fixing member in a third plane which is perpendicular to the first and second planes (P1,P2), wherein the support member lies on the second side of the fencing and includes an aperture for securing a ring member of a support rope or cable thereto; wherein a vertical channel divides the first vertical element into a pair of first fixing members; and the second horizontal element includes a niche where the first and second elements (406,404) meet, the niche and channel cooperating so as to in use receive a vertical wire element of the mesh fence between the pair of first fixing members.
