Risk Assessment 101

Suitable for volunteers of all sections, Squirrels to Explorers. No pre-learning needed.

If you've never written a risk assessment before, or find them challenging, then this is for you!

This is a development session designed to build confidence in creating risk assessments, making them simple and effective and thus reducing the paperwork. Areas covered will be:-

• What purpose do they serve?
• What do they look like?
• Demystifying terms, untangling hazards and risks
• How do we minimise our chance of missing something?
• What can be done to reduce the risk?
• What else do we need to do?
• How and what to communicate and to who

Participants are asked to bring along examples of programmes that they would like to create a risk assessment for to enable real life scenarios to be practiced.

This course will be held on Zoom - you will be sent the joining instructions.
