The Education Department has a bank of generic risk assessments that can be used as a starting point for all off site visits.
Please remember that the Group Leader needs to make them visit specific with consideration to:
- time of year
- weather
- nature of the group / individuals
- relevant competence of staff team
- relevant competence of group
- activity / programme
- equipment being used
- emergency action plan – communication
- significant changes.
All risk assessments should be reviewed:
- after an incident
- when policies and procedures are updated
- following any significant change
- after a reasonable period of time.
If you are new to risk assessment or wish to refresh your knowledge please refer to the UK HSE guidance ‘5 steps to risk assessment’.
