Risk Assessment

Action Needed

 

• Risk assessments should be undertaken by your group to identify any hazards that may pose a risk to you, the children and any volunteers or helpers in your group.  Action should be taken to remove the risk or where this is not possible to minimise that risk.

• There may be numerous hazards associated with the types of activities or facilities you use including equipment, fire, heating, lighting etc

• It is good practice to identify these hazards and to identify who is at risk, what existing measures you are taking to minimise these and any additional precautions that can be taken.  It is important that staff, volunteers and helpers are aware of this assessment and that as a group you continue to identify any further risks that may arise.

 

• Your groups should have some means of recording the action you have taken in relation to risk assessments
